Despite the win, the club acknowledged areas for improvement, particularly regarding their defensive lapses in the final half-hour.

Several players are expected to feature in the starting lineup, including Niv Yehoshua and Eliel Peretz, who came on as a substitute in the recent match. Defenders Itay Rotman and winger Amir Ganah are also contenders for starting spots.
Left-back Pedro Amador was substituted at halftime due to a hamstring sensitivity, and the club is taking a cautious approach, with the player set to undergo further examination before Thursday's game.
