Maccabi Haifa is set to play an away game against Maccabi Petah Tikva tonight at 7:30 PM, with an estimated 10,000 fans expected to attend. The team, managed by Barak Bakhar, aims for its fifth consecutive victory. New signing Eli Dasa is expected to make his debut and potentially play for one half, gradually integrating into the team. Dasa's arrival has been met with mixed reactions from fan groups, with the "Green Monkeys" organization stating they will not initially support him due to his past with Maccabi Tel Aviv, while many other fans have expressed their intention to support him from the start.
Adam Greenberg, who was a starter last season but struggled to make the squad this season, will also be included in the lineup due to an injury to Guy Melamed. The 17-year-old is now considered the second-choice striker in the rotation. Silva Kani has been removed from the squad and will miss his third consecutive game, while Sean Goldberg will also miss his second straight match, having yet to play in the league this season, despite other center-backs receiving opportunities.
Barak Bakhar's starting eleven remains unchanged, with a focus on the chemistry between Pedro Brazão and Bruninho. Ahead of the match, a Maccabi Haifa representative stated, "It's true the teams are coming in with different momentum, but they have quality players and speed in the front. This is another test for our defense, which we emphasized this week."
The projected starting lineup includes Omri Glazer, Yile Battai, Nigel Lonwijk, Noam Steifman, Kenny Saief, Ali Mohamed, Eitan Azulai, Bruninho, Pedro Brazão and Andrija Novakovich.
