Maccabi Tel Aviv Aims to Maintain Momentum Against Maccabi Haifa
Maccabi Tel Aviv is preparing to host Maccabi Haifa in a highly anticipated match on Monday, marking the first encounter between the two clubs in the 2026/27 Israeli Premier League season. Despite it being only the second matchday, the game is considered one of the most significant in Israeli football.
Manager Keni Miler is expected to field a largely unchanged squad from their previous game, with a few key adjustments. Noam Ben Harush will start in place of the ill Tyris Asante. Goalkeeper Ofek Malika is suspended after being sent off in the last match against Hapoel Jerusalem, meaning Roey Mifsash will take his place between the posts. Additionally, Sagiv Yehezkel will be absent due to a lingering abdominal injury.
"We need to maintain positive momentum," stated a team player. "Especially in our home game, in front of our fans, we need to take three points. Those in the squad are good enough to do it."
The projected starting lineup for Maccabi Tel Aviv includes Roey Mifsash, Noam Ben Harush, Ali Maaloul, Raz Shlomo,רוי רביבו, Ibrahima Sissoko, Idan Shachar, Dor Peretz, Osher Davida, Jelle Varela, and Ester Sukar.
