Beitar Jerusalem is preparing to face Ironi Tiberias on Friday, aiming to return to winning ways after a disappointing draw against Kiryat Shmona. The team acknowledges they are favorites but recognizes the need to maintain intensity, as a lapse could allow top teams to pull away. Player Almog Cohen, speaking at a team meeting, emphasized the need for faster play and finding solutions against compact defenses.

Cohen, who is suspended, will remain connected to the team via headset, with Moshe Ohayon managing the game on the field. Aviram Brokhiyan will communicate with Cohen, who will be with the analysts in the stands. Due to Cohen's inability to access locker rooms, the pre-game meeting was moved to a hotel instead of the field to ensure his active participation.

Beitar will also be without player Timothy Musi. Gil Cohen has been practicing at left-back. The coach has not finalized the starting lineup, considering how the opponent's formation might influence the game, and is also monitoring weather conditions that could lead to a muddy pitch, potentially favoring less technical players.

Regardless of the lineup, the professional staff has selected 21 players for the squad, including eight foreign players. Jonbusko Kalu is expected to be left out. The team's coaching staff informed players that due to the absence of a break and an early start to training for European competitions, they will receive a week-long vacation immediately after the upcoming match.

A projected lineup includes Miguel Silva, Nana Antwi, Bryan Carbal, Luca Gadrani, Gil Cohen, Alexis Sarana, Adi Yona (or Daniel Worko), Boris Ino, Yarden Shua, Omer Atzili, and Eugene Ansah.
