Maccabi Netanya midfielder Maor Levi is expected to return to the team's starting lineup for their upcoming match against bottom-ranked Ironi Tiberias. Levi was fined 1,500 shekels by the club following a disciplinary hearing and will also treat his teammates to a meal. He discussed the matter with coach Roni Levy before returning to practice after a day off. Club officials indicated that after accepting his punishment, there is no reason he should not feature in the next game. Levi may replace Aziz Ouattara or Gabriel Simion, with the latter considered more likely to be benched.
Ironi Tiberias, Netanya's opponent, is reportedly preparing tactically and mentally for the game, anticipating a defensive approach from their struggling rivals. The club's mental consultant, Eran Weissbard, is expected to play a significant role. "In situations like these, when Tiberias players are fighting for their careers, their names, and their next contract, you have to understand that this won't be a walk in the park," a club source stated.
Separately, Netanya's legal counsel will attend a hearing on Wednesday to request a technical loss for Hapoel Petah Tikva. The request stems from an alleged illegal player substitution during a match against Netanya, where 12 players were reportedly on the field simultaneously. Netanya has gathered precedents where the league's disciplinary court has imposed technical losses in similar situations, regardless of intent.
