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 Shimon 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. The match against Kosovo will be held in Debrecen, Hungary.
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 "legionaries" (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 be awaiting their chance to play.
The anticipated starting lineup features Omri Glazer in goal, with a defensive unit of Anan Khalaili, Raz Shlomo, Nikita Stoyanov, Eitan Azulay, and Idan Nachmias. The midfield is expected to consist of Liel Abada, Eliel Peretz, and Dor Peretz, while the attacking duo will likely be Manor Solomon and Tai Baribo.
