Maccabi Haifa is set to face Hapoel Jerusalem on Monday evening following an extended international break. Coach Barak Bakhar is expected to field a lineup largely unchanged from their previous victory over Ironi Tiberias. The primary tactical decision for Bakhar lies in the midfield, where he is considering either Yarin Levy, who impressed for the Israeli national team, or Kangi Gura, who has yet to meet expectations in league play. If Levy starts alongside Ali Muhammad and Eitan Azulai, Bruninho will likely return to the left wing, supported defensively by a midfielder.
Kenny Saif is slated to continue at left-back due to injuries to Pierre Cornud and Yinnon Feingold. Tsunami is undergoing training, with a decision on his inclusion in the squad to be made after the next two practices. The central defense will feature Nigel Luvayk and Noam Shtayfman, while Pedro Brazão and Andrea Novakovich are confirmed starters in the forward line, having met expectations so far.
Beyond the starting eleven, competition for places in the squad is also intensifying with the return to fitness of Silva Kani and Adam Grimberg rejoining first-team training. However, Cedric Don, who suffered a hamstring tear, will be absent from the match.
