Hapoel Be'er Sheva will play an important match against Maccabi Haifa at Sammy Ofer Stadium on Monday evening without two key midfielders, Eliel Peretz and Lucas Ventura. Peretz is suffering from a groin strain that he has been carrying since national team games, which has prevented him from completing full matches. The club decided he needs rest to prevent the injury from worsening. Ventura was also unavailable after failing to pass fitness tests related to movement changes, and he will also be given several days of rest.
The club anticipates that both Peretz and Ventura, along with defender Idan Nahmias, will be fit to play in the following match against Maccabi Petah Tikva on Sunday. Despite the significant absences, the team's morale remains high, with club officials stating their confidence in winning the match.
Coach Ran Kozuch is expected to field a strong lineup with minimal rotation due to the game's importance. Zahi Ahmed is favored over Hamudi Kanaan in midfield, alongside Niv Yehoshua and Amankwah Forson. Guy Mizrahi and Pedro Amador are set to start as fullbacks, with Itay Rotman playing center-back alongside either Miguel Vítor or Djibril Diop. The projected starting lineup includes goalkeeper Ofir Marciano, Mizrahi, Rotman, Diop (or Vítor), Amador, Yehoshua, Ahmed, Forson, Javon East, Amir Ganah, and Igor Zlatanovic.
Approximately 2,700 fans are expected to support Hapoel Be'er Sheva at the stadium for the encounter against the strong opponent.
