Following a difficult loss in Europe, Hapoel Be'er Sheva is set to host Hapoel Jerusalem in a domestic league match on Sunday evening. Coach Ran Kozuch is expected to make significant changes to the starting lineup compared to the team that played in the Netherlands.

Key defensive adjustments include Yoni Stoyanov replacing Guy Mizrahi at right-back, Ofir Davidzada taking over at left-back from Pedro Amador, and Itay Rotman and Miguel Vítor stepping in at center-back for the injured Djibril Diop and Idan Nahmias. Niv Yehoshua and Hamudi Kanaan are slated to start in midfield alongside Eliel Peretz, substituting for Lucas Ventura and Amankwaa Forson.

The entire forward line may also be changed, with Amir Ganach, Javon East, and Adrian Ugrinic potentially replacing Mohamed Abu Rumi, Zaahi Ahmed, and Igor Zlatanovic. Overall, Kozuch is anticipated to implement at least seven or eight alterations to the starting eleven.

Idan Nahmias is sidelined with a hamstring injury and is expected to miss upcoming games. "The important thing is to get a home win and stay close to the top," a club source stated. "We built a deep squad so everyone can contribute. The burden of proof is on everyone."

The projected starting lineup includes Ofir Marciano; Yoni Stoyanov, Miguel Vítor, Itay Rotman, Ofir Davidzada; Niv Yehoshua, Hamudi Kanaan, Eliel Peretz; Javon East, Amir Ganach, and Adrian Ugrinic.
