Bnei Sakhnin is gearing up to face Maccabi Tel Aviv in a challenging away match scheduled for Saturday evening at 7:30 PM. Recognizing the significant difference in team levels, Sakhnin's strategy will focus on solid defense to prevent early goals and capitalize on counter-attacks using their fast offensive players. To that end, senior player Antonio Spohr has been benched.

Coach Yossi Abukasis plans to deploy a midfield quartet including Ahmed Taha and Modestus Vuruvobas, who are expected to bring aggression, alongside Matthew Kodjo and Ahmed Salman, who will add quality and speed. This setup aims to support striker Itamar Shviro, who will be making his debut in the forward position.

"We are coming into one of the toughest games of the season," Abukasis stated. "Maccabi Tel Aviv is in good form at Bloomfield Stadium. This is a game where we need to be at our best, excellent in defense and attack, and prevent Maccabi Tel Aviv from utilizing their quality." He expressed hope for a positive result and noted that most of the squad is healthy and improving.

Shviro also expressed anticipation for the important match, stating, "We have prepared excellently this week, worked very hard, and are looking forward to the game and to our fans. Hopefully, we will have a good game."

The projected starting lineup includes Raul Barbeiro; Leroy Owusu, Maron Gantos, Iyad Abu Abid, Ori Dahan, Sana Gomes; Ahmed Taha, Modestus Vuruvobas, Matthew Kodjo, Ahmed Salman; and Itamar Shviro.
