Maccabi Haifa is preparing for a pivotal match against Hapoel Beersheba on Monday, aiming to maintain their lead at the top of the league. Coach Barak Bakhar faces a significant decision at left-back, deliberating between Tsunami, who has been training in the position, and Kenny Saif, the recent starter. Tsunami offers stronger defensive capabilities and could allow Bakhar to deploy a three-defender formation alongside Nigel Lonwijk and Noam Shtayfman.
Yalla Betay is expected to start at right-back, despite initial considerations for Eli Dasa, who is currently only fit for approximately half a game. Meanwhile, the team is working to get Ali Mohamed ready for the encounter. He finished Friday's training session early as part of his injury management, but optimism remains that he will be available for this important match. Yarin Levy is on standby should Mohamed not be cleared to play.
Bruninho has completed full training and is set to start in midfield. It appears that nine players have secured their spots in Barak Bakhar's starting lineup for the game against Beersheba.
