Following two consecutive losses in the UEFA Nations League campaign, the Israeli national football team is set to undergo significant lineup changes for their upcoming match against Kosovo. Coach Alon Ben Simon has reportedly planned five surprising alterations to the starting eleven that suffered a heavy defeat to Ireland.
The team is desperate for a win to salvage their campaign after losing 3-1 to Austria and 3-0 to Ireland. They will host Kosovo in Debrecen on Thursday.
Among the notable changes, goalkeeper Daniel Peretz is sidelined with a minor injury and is expected to be replaced by Omri Glazer. Several key players, including three "legionnaires" (players based abroad) and one player from Maccabi Tel Aviv, are expected to start on the bench. These include Oscar Gloukh, Roy Revivo, Gabi Kaniovsky, and Dor Turgeman, who will await their chance from the sidelines.
The projected starting lineup includes Omri Glazer in goal, with a defense of Anan Khalaili, Raz Shlomo, Nikita Stoyanov, Idan Nachmias, and Liel Abada. The midfield is expected to feature Eliel Peretz, Dor Peretz, and Eitan Azulai, while the attack will be led by Manor Solomon and Tai Baribo.
