  • The team aims to secure points against Maccabi Petah Tikva to maintain first place before the league break.

Maccabi Tel Aviv is set to play against Maccabi Petah Tikva in the Israeli Premier League on Friday, following a decisive 5-0 victory over Hapoel Ramat Gan in their last match. Coach Kenny Miller faces a key decision regarding the team's starting forward. The choice is between continuing with Elad Madmon, who has performed well recently, or reinstating Esther Sukler, who came off the bench in the previous game and nearly scored a hat-trick.

The rest of the team's lineup is expected to remain unchanged from their last game, with Itamar Noy retaining his midfield position. Due to the early 2:00 PM kickoff, the team adopted an unusual measure by staying in a hotel the night before, even for a home game, to finalize preparations. Club officials stated, "The time is not easy for anyone, for us or for Petah Tikva. We will come to take the points and go into the break from first place."

The projected starting lineup includes Ofek Melika, James Tavernier, Raz Shlomo, Mohammed Ali Camara, Shagiv Yehezkel, Itamar Noy, Gabi Kanyikovsky, Dor Peretz, Osher Davida, Helio Varela, and either Elad Madmon or Esther Sukler up front.
