Maccabi Netanya is preparing to face bottom-of-the-table Ironi Tiberias this Saturday, with midfielder Maor Levy expected to return to the starting lineup. Levy, who was fined NIS 1,500 after a disciplinary hearing, attended training after a day off and spoke with coach Ronny Levy. Club officials indicated that with his punishment settled, there's no reason he shouldn't play in the upcoming match, potentially replacing Aziz Ouattara or Gabriel Simion, with the latter being more likely. The team is also focusing on mental preparation, with consultant Eran Weissbard expected to play a significant role, as Tiberias is known to fight hard for individual careers and contracts.
In a separate matter, Netanya's legal counsel will attend a hearing on Wednesday to request a technical loss for Hapoel Petah Tikva. This 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 technical losses were imposed even in cases of unintentional errors.
Meanwhile, the Maccabi Netanya fan organization has announced a boycott of the upcoming match against Tiberias at Green Stadium, citing ticket prices of NIS 85 as the reason.
