Hapoel Tiberias is preparing to host Maccabi Netanya on Saturday at 7:00 PM, attempting to shield its players from off-field legal and financial issues. The club has endured a tumultuous week, beginning with the arrest of senior officials by Lahav 433 police as part of the "Mirror Image" affair. While Arie Kalmanzon, Miki Beitan, Eliran Hodda, and Yael Bar were released to house arrest on Friday, a legal and financial cloud still hangs over the team, particularly concerning a potential three-point deduction for illegal player registrations.
Professionally, the coaching staff, led by Alon Ziv and Moti Krispil, is planning several lineup changes from the previous match against Hapoel Tel Aviv. Players Chris Kouakou and Kais Ganem have recovered from injuries and are set to start, replacing Eden Shamir and Guy Sanker. Niv Gottlieb will move to the wing, and Neneh Gambel is expected to feature prominently. The anticipated starting lineup includes Ido Sharon, Niv Gottlieb, Ron Unger, Ondrej Bacho, Ziv Morgan, Daniel Golani, David Keltins, Chris Kouakou, Neneh Gambel, Kais Ganem, and Arthur Marinian.
