Hapoel Haifa is set to host Hapoel Ramat Gan on Saturday at 7:00 PM, aiming to secure their second consecutive league victory. Currently sixth in the table with nine points, the team is coming off a dramatic 2-1 win against Maccabi Petah Tikva. Coach Haim Silvas is expected to make two changes to the starting lineup.
In the attack, Yoad Gonen returns from suspension and is favored over Chikana Diakite. Dor Malul may also start at right-back, replacing Noam Cohen. William Agada, who sustained an injury before the international break, has not yet returned to full training and will be sidelined for at least another two weeks.
The club is approaching the match with caution, recognizing Ramat Gan as a "big pitfall" and emphasizing the need for humility and adherence to principles. "Our test is in these types of games," a club representative stated, "we will need to come in humble and stick to our principles, it won't be easy."
Coach Silvas expressed his team's determination to continue their strong performance and secure three points. "In this league, every game is difficult and Ramat Gan is a dangerous team," he said. "But we will come with our elements and desires, and try to impose our style and get the result, of course."
The projected starting lineup includes Yoav Jerafi in goal; Dor Malul, Dario Zuparic, Ivan Kritsak, and Ariel Mendi in defense; Naoor Sabag, Chik Keita, and Shai Elias in midfield; and Yoad Gonen, Liran Rotman, and Alon Thurgeman in attack.
