Maccabi Netanya is preparing to face bottom-of-the-table Ironi Tiberias this Saturday, with midfielder Maor Levi expected to rejoin the starting lineup. Levi was recently fined 1,500 shekels after a disciplinary hearing but has since returned to training and spoken with coach Ronny Levy. Club officials indicated that with his penalty served, there's no reason he shouldn't play in the upcoming match. Levi might replace Aziz Ouattara or Gabriel Simion, with Simion considered more likely to start. The team is also focusing on mental preparation, with mental consultant Eran Weissbard, who joined in the summer, expected to play a significant role. "In situations like these, when Tiberias players are fighting for their personal careers, their name, 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 in their match against Netanya. The request stems from allegations that Hapoel Petah Tikva fielded too many players on the field simultaneously. Netanya has gathered precedents where similar infractions resulted in a technical loss, regardless of intent.
Meanwhile, the Maccabi Netanya fan organization has announced a boycott of the match against Tiberias at Green Stadium, citing ticket prices of 85 shekels as the reason.
