Maccabi Netanya midfielder Maor Levi is expected to rejoin 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 his situation with coach Ronny Levy before returning to practice after a day off. Club officials indicated that with his penalty served, Levi is eligible to start against Tiberias, potentially replacing Aziz Ouattara or Gabriel Simion, with the latter considered more likely.
Ironi Tiberias, Netanya's opponent, is reportedly preparing tactically and mentally for the game, anticipating a defensive approach from Tiberias and looking to counter. The team's mental consultant, Eran Weissbard, who joined in the summer, 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, Maccabi Netanya's legal counsel will attend a hearing on Wednesday to request a technical loss against Hapoel Petah Tikva. The request stems from an alleged incident where Hapoel Petah Tikva fielded too many players on the field simultaneously during a previous match. Netanya has gathered precedents where similar rule violations resulted in technical losses, regardless of intent.
