Hapoel Tel Aviv Prepares Strong Lineup for Friendly Against Bnei Yehuda

Hapoel Tel Aviv is advancing its preparations for the 2026/27 season with a friendly match scheduled against Bnei Yehuda on Friday morning. This will be the team's second preseason game, following an earlier match against a lower-league team that they won decisively 5-0. In that initial game, coach Eliniv Breda primarily gave playing time to younger squad members and returning loan players, with notable goal scorers including Sagi Ganis and Anas Mahamid, who scored twice.

For the upcoming friendly against Bnei Yehuda, Breda plans to field a stronger lineup, integrating key senior players and recent signings such as Yonatan Farber and Itay Shavit, who are expected to make their first preseason appearances. Additionally, Adrian Kraiev is anticipated to gradually join the rotation alongside the rest of the squad. This match marks the first preseason encounter against a professional opponent for Hapoel Tel Aviv this year, reflecting the club's intent to test its roster depth and new acquisitions ahead of the league season.
