  • Key midfielders Lucas Ventura and Eliel Peretz are out for Hapoel Be'er Sheva's European match.
  • The absence of Ventura and Peretz will also impact the team's next league game against Hapoel Tel Aviv.
  • Adrian Ugrinic is set to start at striker, replacing Igor Zlatanovic.
  • Hapoel Be'er Sheva has only secured one point in their last three matches.
  • The team hosts OFI Crete in Romania on Thursday evening.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva faces a significant blow ahead of their European match against OFI Crete, with key midfielders Lucas Ventura and Eliel Peretz ruled out due to injury. They will also miss the upcoming domestic league game against Hapoel Tel Aviv.

Coach the coach acknowledged the challenge, noting that while the team managed wins without them recently, the upcoming league match is of a different caliber. The absence of Ventura and Peretz severely limits the team's rotation options, potentially leading to fatigue for players like Amankwah Forson and Niv Yehoshua, who are expected to play extended minutes in both games.

The coach is considering tactical adjustments in midfield, weighing whether to start Zahi Ahmed or Hamudi Kanaan in the third midfield spot, possibly to keep Ahmed fresh for the Hapoel Tel Aviv fixture. In defense, Idan Nachmias is anticipated to replace Miguel Vítor, with a question mark over Itay Rotman potentially starting over Djibril Diaw.

Upfront, Adrian Ugrinic, who scored his first goal in the previous match, is set to start as the striker, taking the place of Igor Zlatanovic. The projected lineup includes Ofir Marciano in goal, Guy Mizerachi, Nachmias, Diaw (or Rotman), and Matan Baltaxa in defense, with Forson, Yehoshua, and Ahmed (or Kanaan) in midfield, and Ganah, Abu Rumi, and Ugrinic leading the attack.
