Following a significant 6-2 defeat against Maccabi Tel Aviv, Hapoel Haifa is set to host Hapoel Petah Tikva this Saturday with the aim of improving their performance after two consecutive winless matches. Coach Haim Silvas stated, "We are worth much more than our performance at Bloomfield and in the last two games overall, but talking about it isn't enough; our duty is to show it." After deploying a three-defender system against Maccabi Tel Aviv, Silvas is expected to revert to a four-defender formation based on recent training sessions. This tactical change will likely see George Diba move to the bench, with Chic Keita returning to the starting lineup after serving a suspension.
In positive news for the Haifa club, William Agada has recovered from an injury and participated in a full training session for the first time on Thursday. While he may be included in the squad for Saturday's match, the club intends to gradually reintegrate him to full fitness to prevent re-injury.
