Maccabi Tel Aviv Coach Weighs Goalkeeper Decision Before Be'er Sheva Clash

Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Keni Miller is deliberating over his starting goalkeeper for Monday night's Israeli Premier League match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva. Ofeq Malika has shown less consistent form recently, prompting the decision which will be made later today. The team aims to maintain its positive momentum following a 3-1 victory over Maccabi Haifa.

In other lineup considerations, Tyreece Asante is expected to start at right-back, with Noam Ben Harush at left-back, replacing the departed Roy Revivo who has moved to Elche. James Tavernier might be included in the squad. Sagiv Yehezkel will continue to be absent from the team.

Maccabi Tel Aviv expressed confidence ahead of the game, noting their past successes against Be'er Sheva, including wins in the State Cup final and the Champions of Champions Cup. "We proved we can win at Turner," a club source stated, adding, "We respect Hapoel Be'er Sheva, but we want to maintain a perfect league record."

The projected starting lineup includes Ofeq Malika or Roey Mifshtet in goal, Asante, Raz Shlomo, and Mohammed Ali Camara in defense, Eissoufou Coulibaly, Gabi Kanyukovsky, and Dor Peretz in midfield, and Osher Davida, Hélio Varela, and Ester Sukar in attack.
