Maccabi Haifa is preparing for their upcoming match against Hapoel Beersheba on Monday, aiming to maintain their position 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, who has played there recently. Tsunami offers a more defensive option and could allow Bakhar to switch to a three-defender formation alongside Nigel Lonwijk and Noam Steifman. Yella Betay is expected to start at right-back, despite initial consideration for Eli Dasa, who is currently only fit for about half a game. The team is also working to get Ali Mohamed ready for the match; he finished Friday's training session early due to injury management. There is optimism he will be fit to play in this crucial game, with Yarin Levy on standby should Mohamed be unavailable. Bruninho, having completed a full training session, is set to start in midfield. It appears that nine players have secured spots in Bakhar's starting lineup for the game against Beersheba.
