Maccabi Haifa is set to return to Sammy Ofer Stadium on Saturday to face Maccabi Netanya, aiming to rebound after recent losses to Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Hapoel Tel Aviv. Coach Barak Bakhar believes that if the team creates a similar number of scoring opportunities as in their last match, the outcome will be different. The team is looking to please its fans before the league break, with all tickets for the game having sold out two days prior.
Several lineup changes are expected for Maccabi Haifa. Noam Steifman is anticipated to return to the central defense after serving a suspension. Yarin Levy will replace the suspended Eitan Azulay in midfield. Kangi Hura or Yair Mordechai are contenders for the wing position, while Kenny Saif is slated to start at left-back, replacing Yalla Betay.
The projected starting lineup includes Omri Glazer in goal, Eli Dasa and Nigel Lonwijk in defense alongside Steifman, and Saif at left-back. The midfield is expected to feature Yarin Levy, Ali Muhammad, and Bruninho, with Hura, Pedro Brazão, and Andra Novakovich forming the attacking front. The team will face former player Ronny Levy, now coaching Maccabi Netanya.
