Beitar Jerusalem is preparing for their upcoming match against Hapoel Petah Tikva on Sunday, aiming to return to winning ways after a scoreless draw against Maccabi Tel Aviv. Coach Almog Cohen expressed his dissatisfaction with the team's inability to secure victories, despite appreciating their pace, attitude, work ethic, and discipline. "We are Beitar, and we always strive to win," Cohen told his players.
Ahead of the Sunday game, Cohen is expected to rotate the team's foreign players. Beitar Jerusalem can only register seven of their eight foreign players to receive a grant. Eugene Ansah, who was excluded from the squad against Maccabi Tel Aviv, is set to return to the starting lineup, with another foreign player making way. Cohen had previously described Ansah's exclusion as his most difficult decision since becoming coach.
The team will begin preparations for the challenging encounter on Saturday. Cohen holds the opposing team in high regard, acknowledging the pressure on Hapoel Petah Tikva, coached by Omer Peretz, to earn points.
