Hapoel Haifa is set to host Hapoel Petah Tikva this Saturday, aiming to rebound from a significant 6-2 defeat against Maccabi Tel Aviv. The team seeks to improve its performance after two consecutive winless matches. Coach Chaim Silvas is reportedly planning a tactical shift back to a four-man defense after experimenting with three center-backs in the previous game. This change is expected to see George Diba move to the bench, with Shik Keita returning to the starting lineup after serving a suspension. The club has received positive news regarding William Agada, who has recovered from an injury and completed a full training session for the first time. While he might be included in the squad for Saturday's match, the team plans a gradual reintegration to prevent re-injury. "We are worth much more than our performance at Bloomfield and in the last two games overall," a team source stated, emphasizing the need to demonstrate this on the field rather than just discussing it.
