Maccabi Haifa will resume training on Wednesday following a significant 5-2 home defeat to Hapoel Be'er Sheva. The mood after the loss was somber, but coach Barak Bakhar is working to motivate the players ahead of their upcoming match on Monday against Hapoel Tel Aviv.
The team is particularly disappointed with its defense, which has made numerous errors. Noam Steifman, who had a poor performance and was sent off, will be unavailable for the Hapoel Tel Aviv game. However, this is not expected to be the only change Bakhar is considering.
Eli Dasa, who has come on as a substitute in the last two games, is pushing for a starting position and may feature in the lineup. If Dasa starts, it's anticipated that Shay Battai will continue at left-back, or Kenny Saif could return to the starting eleven. Tsunami is likely to be preferred over Peadro in central defense alongside Nigel Lonwijk. Sean Goldberg is questionable for the match due to an ankle injury and has not played in the league at all this season.
Maccabi Haifa recognizes the urgent need to drastically improve their defensive play, fearing the season could be jeopardized otherwise. On a positive note, the team's offense has been performing well, scoring 20 goals in eight games, making it the second-best attack in the league.
