Beitar Jerusalem is experiencing significant anticipation before their match against Maccabi Tel Aviv, with the team believing a victory would send a strong message to the rest of the league. Players are aware that a win at a sold-out Teddy Stadium could propel them back to their desired position after losing their first two games of the season.
Coach Almog Cohen described Maccabi Tel Aviv as the best team in Israel and highlighted Dor Peretz and Gabi Kanikovsky as key players Beitar must neutralize. Yarden Shua is set to start as the striker, as Cohen feels he will struggle to contribute effectively on the wing while also aiding the defense and supporting the attack.
The primary lineup decision for Cohen involves the left wing, where he is choosing between Eugene Ansah and Jonbosko Kalu. Kalu performed well against Maccabi Tel Aviv last season and recently scored, but Ansah is in excellent form, having scored in three of his last four appearances. One of these players will be in the starting lineup, while the other will be left out of the squad entirely.
Brian Kravele will return to play center-back, and Timothy Muzzie will continue as the left-back, with instructions to avoid venturing too far up the field. The projected starting lineup includes Miguel Silva; Nana Antwi, Brian Kravele, Luka Gdran, Timothy Muzzie; Alexis Serna, Boris Enow, Tomer Yosefi; Omer Atzili, Eugene Ansah (or Jonbosko Kalu), and Yarden Shua.
