Maccabi Netanya Prepares for Hapoel Haifa Match with One Lineup Change
Maccabi Netanya is set to host Hapoel Haifa on Monday evening in the third round of the Israeli Premier League. Despite ongoing negotiations for foreign players, including midfielder Johan Torres, and the desire to acquire at least two more foreign signings (a defender and a winger), the team aims to focus on the upcoming match.
The team, coming off a significant 4-1 victory against Beitar Jerusalem, will make a single change to their starting lineup. Captain Karam Jaber is expected to replace Grigory Morozov, who is sidelined with a minor injury that is not expected to be serious. Bassam Zra'ar has recovered from injury but will start on the bench due to the strong performance of the midfield trio in the previous game.
Coach Roni Levy has emphasized to his players that Hapoel Haifa has thoroughly studied their tactics and will be prepared for their successful strategies from the Beitar Jerusalem match. Levy also discussed alternative approaches to counter Hapoel Haifa's game plan. He reminded his squad that despite the impressive win against Beitar, the season is still in its early stages, having only completed the second round.
