Maccabi Netanya is gearing up for their upcoming match against Kiryat Shmona, with uncertainty surrounding the availability of midfielder Dolav Haziha. Haziha, who missed Thursday's training session, will attempt to participate in the final practice to potentially be included on the bench.
The team is under pressure to secure their first home victory in four games, playing in front of an expected crowd of nearly 5,000 fans. Coach Roni Levy is anticipated to make several lineup changes. Romanian new signing Gabriel Simion is expected to start in midfield, likely alongside Bassam Zra'a and Aziz Utar, as Nadav Nidam is not expected to be in the starting eleven.
In defense, Beni Feldman is set to replace Amit Cohen at left-back. Omri Shamir will again not be in the squad, Itay Ben Shabbat remains injured, and Giorgi Morozov's position in the team appears uncertain. In the previous round, Cohen started at left-back, with Feldman later moving to that position and Morozov not dressing for the game.
Meanwhile, Netanya is awaiting a league tribunal hearing on Wednesday, where they hope to be awarded two additional league points. This hearing concerns the participation of Hapoel Petah Tikva's 12 players in their recent 1-1 draw. The projected lineup includes Samuel Silva; Alon Azugi, Olivier Verdon, Bakary Konate, Beni Feldman; Aziz Utar, Gabriel Simion, Bassam Zra'a; Oz Bilo, Isaac De Lima, Mateusz Dab.
