Maccabi Haifa is preparing for their upcoming match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva, holding their final training session and a press conference on Sunday morning. Midfielder Ali Mohamed, who had been experiencing hamstring discomfort during the game against Maccabi Petah Tikva, has returned to full training and is fit to play. Coach Barak Bakhar faces a selection dilemma between Mohamed and Yarin Levi for a starting spot. Levi, who began the season in the starting lineup, has come off the bench in the last two games.
Yille Baitay and Tsunami are expected to start as the team's fullbacks, with Eli Dasa and Kenny Saif beginning on the bench. The coaching staff opted for Baitay due to Dasa not yet being at full match fitness, anticipating his introduction in the second half. Tsunami is favored for his defensive strengths and his ability to facilitate tactical transitions without requiring a substitution.
Maccabi Haifa currently sits third in the league standings, trailing Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv. A victory in the upcoming game would propel them back to the top of the table.
