Hapoel Be'er Sheva is set to depart for the Netherlands on Tuesday for their Europa League match against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday. The club is currently facing uncertainty regarding fan attendance, as no official approval has been granted for Be'er Sheva supporters to enter the AFAS Stadium, despite efforts by the Foreign Ministry and Football Association chairman Shino Zuarz. Nevertheless, a few dozen fans are expected to travel to the Netherlands and attempt to gain entry to the game.
On the professional front, coach Ran Kochav is reportedly planning significant squad alterations. Niv Yehoshua is expected to return to the midfield alongside Eliel Peretz and Lucas Ventura. Matan Baltaxa is a candidate to start at left-back, replacing Pedro Amador, who was substituted at halftime in the previous match due to sensitivity. Itay Rotman is slated to take over in central defense, potentially replacing either Miguel Vítor or Djibril Diop. Adrian Grbic may also feature in the attack. These changes suggest Kochav will make at least six alterations to the lineup that played against Ironi Tiberias on Saturday.
Regarding player transfers, Hapoel Be'er Sheva has reportedly moved on from pursuing Eli Dasa after Maccabi Haifa announced an agreement with the player. Another player considered by the club is Guy Hadida, who recently left Ironi Tiberias. While Hadida is a free agent who could provide depth from the bench, the coaching staff has not yet made a decision on his potential signing.
