Hapoel Tiberias is preparing to host league champions Hapoel Be'er Sheva on Saturday, a match marking the return of players David Keltins and Niv Gottlieb to the field.
The duo had been suspended for three months as part of a broader scandal involving "transfers" within Israeli sports, but are now set to start immediately against one of the league's strongest teams. "Everyone at the club knows how important Niv and David are to Tiberias. It was clear they would return hungry and get straight into things," a club source stated.
In contrast, player Sambinha, who also completed a three-month suspension, has not yet passed budget control and his debut will be delayed. Coaches Alon Ziv and Moti Krispil will also be without injured players Chris Kwaku and Kais Ghanem.
Arthur Mirinian, who recently represented Armenia, is expected to make his starting debut for Tiberias. The team acknowledges the unpredictable nature of matches against Be'er Sheva, recalling last season's contrasting results: a 7-0 loss followed by a surprising 3-0 home victory.
The upcoming game will be held at Bar'el Stadium, with approximately 1,000 away fans anticipated. A projected starting lineup includes Ido Sharon, Guy Sancker, Ron Unger, Ondrej Bacho, Ziv Morgan, Daniel Golani, David Keltins, Eden Shamir, Ari Cohen, Niv Gottlieb, and Arthur Mirinian.
