Maccabi Haifa is set to host Hapoel Be'er Sheva on Thursday at 7:00 PM in a significant Israeli Premier League clash. The team, led by coach Barak Bakhar, is entering the match with strong momentum, having secured five consecutive victories, including three comebacks, highlighting the team's resilient character.
Bakhar plans a single change to the starting lineup from their last win, with Tsunami expected to replace Kenny Saif. Tsunami's return to the starting eleven after a three-game absence is seen as a move to bolster the team's defensive strength, though it may slightly reduce their offensive contribution.
Ali Mohamed is expected to retain his place in midfield over Yarin Levy, as the coaching staff aims for continuity in the midfield department, with Mohamed being fit to play. Eli Dasa will begin the game on the bench as he is not yet at full match fitness. This will be Dasa's first game at Sammy Ofer Stadium as a Maccabi Haifa player.
Goalkeeper Omri Glazer will also have a special reunion, facing his former club Hapoel Be'er Sheva for the first time since his successful two-year stint before moving to Red Star Belgrade. Ahead of the game, a Maccabi Haifa spokesperson stated, "We know Hapoel Be'er Sheva's situation and it's hard to know how they will arrive. We are focused on ourselves, we have addressed the areas that need improvement. This game is a big test."
A projected starting lineup for Maccabi Haifa includes Omri Glazer; Yella Bataille, Nigel Lonwijk, Noam Steifman, Tsunami; Ali Mohamed, Eitan Azulay, Bruninho; Pedro Brazão, Kangi Hora, and Andrija Novakovich.
