Beitar Jerusalem coach Almog Cohen is deliberating over his starting forward for the upcoming match against Hapoel Petah Tikva, scheduled for Saturday night at the Shlomo Biton Stadium. The primary decision is between Sean Weissman and Yujin Enseh, with Weissman appearing to have the edge. The coaching staff highly values Weissman's on-field work, including his high press and overall approach, believing goals will soon follow and boost his confidence.

Samuel Kalu is expected to be the foreign player left out of the matchday squad, as only seven foreign players can be registered. Cohen emphasized to his players that the game against Hapoel Petah Tikva will be more challenging than their recent match against Maccabi Tel Aviv, stressing that no games in the league are easy. This message was intended to instill a sense of seriousness and professionalism.

The coaching staff also clarified disciplinary expectations, particularly after an incident where Bryan Carabalí reportedly attempted to take a free kick instead of Yarden Shua, who is designated as the team's free-kick taker. It was explained that Shua will take right-footed free kicks within 16 meters of the goal, while Carabalí will only take them from further distances.
