- Maccabi Netanya faces Ironi Tiberias on Saturday in a crucial away match.

Maccabi Netanya is preparing for an away match against Ironi Tiberias at the Barel Stadium in Nof HaGalil on Saturday evening. The team is focused on securing a win on the field, despite awaiting a court decision regarding a previous game against Hapoel Petah Tikva.
Club officials are concerned about potential complacency, given Tiberias' off-field issues. They have emphasized to the players that the opposing team, with their backs against the wall, will be motivated to prove themselves and set aside external problems.
Professionally, coach Roni Levy is still deciding on the starting lineup. However, following a clean sheet in their previous 1-0 victory, he is unlikely to change the defense. The offensive line may see alterations, as Levy praised substitute players after the last match. Yesterday, Aylon Almog was practiced in place of Isaac, while Dor Hugi trained with the starting eleven instead of Bassam Zaroura. This suggests a highly offensive formation for Netanya, potentially including Oz Bilo, Matheus Dabo, Hugi, and Almog. Maor Levy, back from suspension, is awaiting an opportunity from the bench. The coaching staff noted that different offensive pairings were tested and a final decision has not yet been made. Dolev Haziza continues to experience recurring foot pain and will not be in the squad.
The fans' organization has decided to end their boycott of the game after ticket prices were reduced to 70 shekels, and several hundred supporters are expected to accompany the team.
