Beitar Jerusalem players and staff who observe the Sabbath have rented apartments near Teddy Stadium to avoid violating Shabbat ahead of their upcoming match against Ironi Kiryat Shmona. The team, which has won six of its last seven games, is aiming to continue its positive momentum.
Coach Almog Cohen faces a familiar dilemma regarding his foreign players, needing to decide which one will be left out of the squad. He is considering Eugene Ansah or Jombosko Calo for the starting lineup, while keeping Nana Antwi, Luka Gdani, Bryan Carbal, Alexis Sarana, Miguel Silva, and Boris Ino in consideration. The team's performance in their last victory against Hapoel Petah Tikva was deemed insufficient, and the coaching staff has warned players against complacency.
Except for Yarden Cohen, most players are fit. Those who haven't played recently, such as Liel Darai, Ravid Abergil, and Nevo Shado, will continue to be sidelined. Upon Yarden Cohen's return after the international break, one of the midfielders will likely be removed from the roster, with Noam Mocha potentially finding it difficult to secure a regular spot in the rotation. Sean Weissman has returned to training after an illness but is not expected to start.
The likely starting lineup includes Miguel Silva, Nana Antwi, Bryan Carbal, Luka Gdani, Timothy Muzi, Alexis Sarana, Tomer Yosefi, Boris Ino, Omer Atzili, Yarden Shua, and either Jombosko Calo or Eugene Ansah.
