Hapoel Petah Tikva, currently one point above the relegation zone, will host Beitar Jerusalem on Tuesday evening. The team, which has the league's weakest offense with only three goals scored, aims to secure a win to alleviate pressure and potentially climb to tenth place.
Coach Omer Peretz is considering a return to a four-man defense, a tactical shift that may see some previously dominant players benched due to recent poor performances and losses. Among those expected to be dropped from the starting lineup are Itay Ehud and Yazan Nasser. The team will also be without injured players Avishai Cohen, Diego Arruyo, Moshiko Meir, and Roi David.
However, Tomer Altman and Clay are set to return to the starting eleven, aiming to impress the coach and earn more playing time. Harel Shalom is also expected to feature. "Nobody gives us a chance and everyone is asking by how much Beitar will beat us," a club source stated. "This is exactly the moment to prove, first and foremost to ourselves, that we are capable."
Beitar Jerusalem fans have purchased all tickets allocated to their section. Reports from Hapoel Petah Tikva supporters on social media indicate that some Beitar fans attempted to acquire tickets for the home team's section through them, but were refused. These fans subsequently informed their club's management.
