Beitar Jerusalem is preparing for their upcoming match against Hapoel Petah Tikva on Sunday, aiming to return to winning ways after a goalless draw with Maccabi Tel Aviv. Coach Almog Cohen, who gave his players a day off on Wednesday, addressed the team, expressing his dissatisfaction with not winning while praising their effort and discipline. "We are Beitar, and we always strive to win," he stated.

Ahead of the game, Cohen is expected to make a change among the team's foreign players. Beitar can only register seven of their eight foreign players for the match 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 for him. Cohen had previously described this decision as the most difficult since becoming coach.

The team will begin preparations for the challenging encounter on Thursday. Cohen holds a high regard for their opponent, Hapoel Petah Tikva, coached by Omer Peretz, acknowledging that the match will be difficult, especially given Petah Tikva's pressure to secure points.
