Beitar Jerusalem, currently seven points behind the league leader with a game in hand, aims to maintain its positive momentum in Sunday's away match against Hapoel Petah Tikva. Based on the final training session, it appears that Sasson Weissman will start as the striker, replacing Giovanesco Calou, who is not expected to be in the squad. Calou was invited to the game, but one of the foreign players must be left out, and after Eugene Ansah was the one excluded against Maccabi Tel Aviv, it seems the forward, who arrived from Sweden, will be the one sitting out this time. Liel Darai, Nevo Shdo, and Ravid Abergil will also not be in the squad, and at least two of them are expected to request transfers in January to secure more playing time. "We must not feel too comfortable, and Almog doesn't let us feel that way," said Beitar players, adding, "With a squad as deep as ours, everyone understands that for anyone who doesn't prove themselves, there's someone waiting on the bench to come in." Dozens of Beitar fans reportedly managed to obtain tickets for the Hapoel Petah Tikva supporters' section, with some promising not to wear identifying symbols to gain entry.
