Maccabi Haifa is intensifying preparations for their upcoming match against Hapoel Beersheba on Monday. The team's focus is currently on the fitness of midfielders Bruninho and Ali Mohamed, who have not completed a full training session since their substitution due to hamstring issues in the win against Maccabi Petah Tikva last Saturday. Bruninho also missed two training sessions after suffering from a virus. Both players are expected to train with the squad on Friday and are considered potential starters for Monday's game.
If Bruninho and Ali Mohamed are deemed fit, coach Barak Bakhar is unlikely to make significant changes to the starting lineup that has played the last three games. This is despite the strong midfield of the league champions. The only expected alteration to the lineup is Eli Dasa potentially replacing Yille Behtao, as the team's medical and professional staff believe Dasa can play more than a half. Dasa's last start in an official match was for the national team on June 3rd against Albania, where he was substituted at halftime. He has not completed a full match in six months.
Maccabi Haifa will be facing a top-tier team for the first time since their loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the second week of the season. That match was the only game this season where the team dropped points. Bakhar is expected to practice the lineup that will start on Monday.
