Hapoel Be'er Sheva faces a significant blow with the expected absence of key midfielders Lucas Ventura and Eliel Peretz for their upcoming European League match against AEK Athens in Romania on Thursday, and their domestic league game against Hapoel Tel Aviv on Sunday. The team, which has struggled with only one point from its last three games, is seeking its first win.
Coach the coach acknowledged the challenge, stating, "We want to take more points and believe we can succeed." He emphasized the need to "play our best minutes for a longer time, and that's what will give us more chances." However, the unavailability of Ventura and Peretz severely limits his rotation options.
The coach has managed without the pair in recent wins against Maccabi Haifa and Maccabi Petah Tikva, but anticipates a tougher challenge against Hapoel Tel Aviv. Midfielders Amankwah Forson and Niv Yehoshua will be required to play extended minutes, potentially leading to fatigue by Sunday's game.
Other lineup changes are expected, with Zahi Ahmed possibly starting in midfield, though the coach is considering Hamudi Kanaan for that spot to keep Ahmed fresh. Idan Nachmias is set to replace Miguel Vítor in central defense, while Itay Rotman might feature over Djibril Diaw.
In attack, Adrian Ugrinic, who scored his debut goal against Petah Tikva, will start up front, replacing Igor Zlatanovic. The projected lineup includes Ofir Marciano in goal, Guy Mizechi, Nachmias, Diaw (or Rotman), and Matan Baltaxa in defense; Yehoshua, Forson, and Ahmed (or Kanaan) in midfield; and Ganach, Abu Rumi, and Ugrinic in attack.
