Hapoel Petah Tikva suffered a disappointing 2-0 loss to Bnei Sakhnin on Saturday, leaving them in 12th place in the league standings with only four points. This defeat extends their winless streak to five games, including four losses. The team's performance has caused significant concern among club officials, compounded by an injury to player Roi David. David is scheduled for scans to determine the extent of a suspected lateral collateral ligament sprain, which could see him miss the upcoming match against Beitar Jerusalem. This injury adds to a string of bad luck, with David joining Avi Shai Cohen, Moshiko Meir, and Diego Arroyo on the sidelines.

Fans are expressing growing impatience, with many noting that the team's roster was poorly constructed. "A team was built here in a bad way, 70 percent of the players who went to the summer training camp are not even here anymore," fans told the administrative committee and management group member Amit Zimer. Club officials acknowledged that the team has weakened but stressed that the current players must improve their attitude. There is a belief within the club that coach Omer Peretz can guide the team out of its current slump.
