Beitar Jerusalem has demonstrated a significant turnaround after a poor start to the league season, which included two heavy defeats and injury concerns. The team has since secured four consecutive wins and a draw against Maccabi Tel Aviv, indicating a steady improvement.
Manager Almog Cohen is seeing more options emerge as players regain fitness. Luka Gadrani, who missed pre-season training due to injury, is gradually returning to full form, and his partnership with Bryan Carvallo in midfield is showing promise.
Colombian player Alexis Serna is also integrating well, stabilizing the midfield and allowing Boris Ino to play in a more suitable role. Yarden Shoa is recovering from early-season injuries, and Adi Yona has returned after a five-month absence. Beitar expects Yarden Cohen to return in November.
Nana Antwi, a defender sidelined for two months with an injury, is also working back to full fitness. While he had strong moments against Hapoel Ramat Gan, his performance against Maccabi Tel Aviv was less impactful. However, when at full strength and confidence, Antwi provides a significant advantage with his exceptional athletic abilities.
Looking ahead, Beitar Jerusalem faces Hapoel Petah Tikva, Kiryat Shmona, and Tiberias before the international break. These are considered winnable matches on paper, and the team aims to secure all nine points to stay close to the league leaders. Continued improvement in performance and integrating players returning from injury are key objectives for Beitar as they believe their best is yet to come this season.
