Maccabi Tel Aviv is set to host Hapoel Haifa on Saturday for the eighth round of the Israeli Premier League. The team, coming off two consecutive 0-0 draws against Bnei Sakhnin and Beitar Jerusalem, aims to secure a victory. Regardless of Saturday's outcome, the club recognizes a pressing need to strengthen its offensive capabilities. The return of Yoni Nicolascu, sidelined with a long-term injury and expected back around December, remains uncertain regarding his form upon return. Additionally, Sayed Abu Farhi departed without a replacement, despite the club's desire to sign a forward. The current performance of Esther Sukler is deemed insufficient. If the situation doesn't improve, Maccabi Tel Aviv may need to consider acquiring another striker, either foreign or Israeli. Regarding the lineup for Saturday's match, Raz Shlomo is expected to be fit. Even if Davida is cleared to play, Ezekiel is likely to retain his starting position.
