Maccabi Tel Aviv Coach Debates Goalkeeper Choice Before Be'er Sheva Clash
Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Kenny Miller is facing a decision regarding his starting goalkeeper for the upcoming match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva. Olek Melika has been underperforming recently, and Miller will make his final choice later today. The team aims to maintain its winning momentum in the Premier League after a 3-1 victory over Maccabi Haifa.
In other lineup considerations, James Tavernier might be included in the squad. Tyris Asante is expected to start at right-back, with Noam Ben Harush filling in at left-back, replacing Roey Revivo who has transferred to Elche. Shagiv Ezekiel will remain unavailable for the game.
"We proved we can win at Turner," stated sources within the club, referring to their previous victories against Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the State Cup final and the Champions of Champions Cup. "We respect Hapoel Be'er Sheva, but we want to maintain a perfect league record."
The projected starting lineup includes Olek Melika or Roey Miftahi in goal, Asante, Raz Shlomo, and Mohammed Ali Camara in defense, Idiso Sisoko, Gabi Kaniyovsky, and Dor Peretz in midfield, and Osher Davida, Hélio Varela, and Ester Sokler in attack.
