Maccabi Netanya aims to enter the international break in sixth place and knows a win against Maccabi Haifa on Saturday at Sammy Ofer Stadium is crucial. Coach Roni Levy will be without Isaac Rodriguez, who was sent off in the last league match. Bassam Zra'ra is expected to play on the left wing in his place, with Maor Levy returning to the starting lineup. Levy is also considering starting Romanian player Gabriel Simion over Nadav Nidam. Midfielder William Ciprian, who was close to leaving the club, has impressed in recent training sessions after losing 4 kilograms and may get another chance. The club stated his agent couldn't find him a new team, and he refused to compromise on compensation to leave. Meanwhile, Amit Cohen is out with pelvic bone inflammation, and Dolev Haziza will also miss the game due to persistent foot pain. Netanya hopes the break will help determine the correct treatment for Haziza, a player they sorely miss. The projected lineup includes Samuel de Silva, Alon Azugi, Beni Feldman, Olivier Verdon, Giorgi Morozov, Gabriel Simion, Aziz Wattara, Maor Levy, Oz Bilo, Bassam Zra'ra, and Matias Dabo.
