  • Ironi Tiberias will host Hapoel Jerusalem on Saturday, aiming for an upset victory.
  • The team faces an additional three-point deduction next week due to a player registration issue.
  • Key player Kais Ghanem is injured and will miss the match.
  • Defender Ziv Morgan is doubtful for the game due to a hamstring strain.
  • Over 4,000 Hapoel Jerusalem fans are expected to attend the game.

Ironi Tiberias, having climbed above the relegation zone for the first time last week, will host Hapoel Jerusalem on Saturday at Barel Stadium, aiming for an upset. The team from the Sea of Galilee, which started the season with a six-point deficit, is set to face an additional three-point deduction next week as part of a settlement with the Football Association regarding a player registration issue. Despite the background noise and controversies surrounding the club, Tiberias has demonstrated resilience and the ability to perform, and they will attempt to do so again against Jerusalem.

Coach Alon Ziv will be without the injured Kais Ghanem. Additionally, Ziv Morgan, who was practicing in central defense, sustained an injury towards the end of the final training session. He is likely suffering from a hamstring strain and is doubtful for the match.

The club anticipates a full stadium, with over 4,000 Hapoel Jerusalem fans having secured their tickets in Nof HaGalil. The projected lineup for Ironi Tiberias includes Ido Sharon; Ron Unger (Guy Sanker), Nahorai Chen (Ron Unger), Ondrej Bacho, Daniel Golani; David Keltins, Eden Shamir, Chris Kouakou; Mansour Badji, Arthur Marinain, Nana Gyamfi.
