Hapoel Tel Aviv Aims to Secure Conference League Playoff Spot Against Katowice
Hapoel Tel Aviv hopes to close out their UEFA Conference League qualifier against Katowice on Wednesday, holding a 2-0 advantage from the first leg. Coach Eliniv Breda plans to field the same starting lineup as in the initial match, with Doron Leidner continuing at left back, Omri Altman on the left wing, and Roi Elkukin as the attacking midfielder. Douglas Owusu, a new addition to the squad, is expected to make his debut appearance off the bench.
Breda cautioned his players about the challenge ahead, describing the atmosphere as "complex" and warning that Katowice will come out aggressively to overturn the deficit. Approximately 500 Hapoel fans will attend the game, which will be held under heavy security due to heightened tensions surrounding the fixture.
The anticipated starting eleven includes Asaf Tzur in goal; defenders Doron Leidner, Chico, Fernan Mayembo, and Marcus Coco; midfielders Adrian Kravets, Lucas Palko, and Roi Elkukin; and forwards Satu Turiel, Omri Altman, and Emmanuel Boateng. Hapoel Tel Aviv is focused on maintaining their lead to advance to the Conference League playoff round.
