Maccabi Petah Tikva Aims for Perfect Start Against Ironi Tiberias
Maccabi Petah Tikva is in an unfamiliar position, entering the third round of the season as one of only two teams with a perfect record, having won their first two matches. The team will look to continue this success when they host Ironi Tiberias on Saturday evening.
Coach Ziv Arie is expected to stick with the winning formula, fielding the same starting eleven that has secured their previous victories. While Eitan Tibi and Bashar Abdah are fit and available for selection, they are not anticipated to start.
New signing, defender Illouz Yao, who joined the team this week, will not be included in the squad as he is not yet match-fit. Additionally, Adar Ratner remains sidelined due to injury.
The projected starting lineup for Maccabi Petah Tikva is: Maor Erlich; Guy Dezant, Pavlos Correa, Aviv Salem, Or Dadia; Ido Cohen, Ibrahima Sowe, Liran Hazan; Samuel Owusu, Kyle Spence, Marko Rakonjac.
