Hapoel Kiryat Shmona is preparing to face Maccabi Netanya on Saturday, aiming to end a four-game losing streak and secure their first points since late August. The team, currently struggling after a 3-1 loss to Hapoel Tel Aviv last week, has conceded 12 goals in their last four matches. Coach שי ברדה has emphasized the need for a more responsible and defensively solid team, stating his desire to see a side that "doesn't just think about attack." He is currently deliberating on his starting lineup, with rotations occurring throughout the week and a final decision expected after the concluding training session. A key decision involves the new foreign striker, אלכסנדרו פופ, who debuted last week in place of ניב גבאי and is still seeking his first goal for the club.
