Hapoel Haifa, currently sixth in the league with nine points, is set to host Hapoel Ramat Gan on Saturday evening, aiming for their second consecutive league victory. The team is coming off a dramatic 2-1 win over Maccabi Petah Tikva in added time during their last match.
Coach Haim Silvas is expected to make two changes to the starting lineup. In the attack, Yad Gonen, returning from suspension, is favored over Chikana Diakite. Additionally, Dor Malul may start at right-back, replacing Noam Cohen.
William Agada will be absent for approximately two more weeks due to an injury sustained before the international break, as he has not yet returned to full training. The club is maintaining a cautious approach, warning against complacency despite their strong start to the season.
"Ramat Gan is a major trap," a club source stated. "Our test is in these types of games. We will need to come in humbly and stick to our principles; it won't be easy."
The projected starting lineup for Hapoel Haifa is: Yoav Jarafi; Dor Malul (Noam Cohen), Dario Zupec, Ivan Kritzak, Ariel Mendi; Naoor Sabag, Chik Keita, Shay Elias; Yad Gonen, Liran Rotman, and Alon Thurgeman.
