Excitement is reaching a fever pitch in Jerusalem for the top-tier match between Beitar Jerusalem and Maccabi Tel Aviv, scheduled for Monday at Teddy Stadium. All tickets for the encounter have been sold out, and the immense demand has fueled a scalping market, with tickets appearing on social media for prices up to 1,000 shekels (approximately $250). The police are aware of the phenomenon and are monitoring attempts to sell tickets at inflated prices.
Beitar Jerusalem is enjoying a positive atmosphere following four consecutive wins, a significant turnaround after a disappointing start to the season that included two losses. Despite the improvement, coach Almog Cohen recognizes that the game against Maccabi Tel Aviv will be a crucial test of the team's ability to compete against a top opponent.
The team is drawing encouragement from the return of Nana Antwi from injury, the integration of Uri Azou, and the strong performances of players like Omer Atzili, Yarden Shua, and Boris Ino. In terms of team selection, Cohen is considering Gil Cohen or Timothy Muzhi for the left-back position. Bryan Carvall, having completed a suspension, is expected to return to central defense alongside Luka Gadran.
Beitar's management has begun contract extension talks with Carvall's representatives, with significant discussions planned during the next international break. Meanwhile, Jonbosco Calo is likely to be the foreign player excluded from the squad against Maccabi Tel Aviv. Ravid Abergil, who has had limited playing time, is reportedly considering a loan move in January to a top National League team to gain more experience and continue his development.
