Following a disappointing loss to Alkmaar in European competition, Hapoel Be'er Sheva is set to host Hapoel Jerusalem on Sunday evening in the seventh round of the Israeli Premier League. Coach Ran Kozuch is expected to make significant changes to the lineup that played on Thursday.
Guy Mizrahi, who has started every league and European game this season, is likely to be rested, with Yoni Stoyanov taking his place at right-back. Ofir Davidzada will play at left-back, replacing Pedro Amador. In central defense, Itay Rotman and Miguel Vítor are set to start, filling in for the injured Gibril Diop and Idan Nachmias. Niv Yehoshua and Chamudi Kanaan will come into the midfield alongside Eliel Peretz, replacing Lucas Ventura and Emanakeh Forson.
The entire front three may also be changed, with Amir Ganach, Javon East, and Adrian Ugrisa potentially starting instead of Mohamed Abu Rumi, Zaahi Ahmed, and Igor Zlatanovic. In total, Kozuch is anticipated to make seven or eight alterations to the starting eleven. Idan Nachmias is sidelined with a hamstring injury and is expected to miss upcoming matches.
"The important thing is to get a home win and stay close to the top," stated sources within Be'er Sheva. "We built a deep squad so everyone can contribute and give their weight. The burden of proof is on everyone."
The projected lineup includes Ofir Marciano; Yoni Stoyanov, Miguel Vítor, Itay Rotman, Ofir Davidzada; Niv Yehoshua, Chamudi Kanaan, Eliel Peretz; Javon East, Amir Ganach, and Adrian Ugrisa.
