Maccabi Haifa has climbed to first place in the Israeli Premier League following Maccabi Tel Aviv's goalless draw with Beitar Jerusalem on Monday, concluding the seventh week of the season. The team now faces a challenging stretch with upcoming matches against fellow top clubs Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Hapoel Tel Aviv, which will serve as a key indicator of their current form.
Star player Bruninho is currently sidelined with a virus and is doubtful for upcoming training sessions, though he is expected to be fit by Tuesday. He has also reported improvement regarding a previous injury. Ali Mohamed underwent treatment during training on Monday due to an injury sustained in the match against Maccabi Petah Tikva, and his availability will be assessed upon his return to practice.
Eli Dasa may make his first start for Maccabi Haifa after a promising debut against Maccabi Petah Tikva, where he bolstered the team's defense. The final decision on his inclusion will be made by the end of the week. Yille Baetaei's performance in the previous game was unsatisfactory, potentially leading to Dasa taking his place. Baetaei will compete with Kenny Saief for the left-back position until Pierre Cornud recovers from his injury.
