Hapoel Tel Aviv Prepares for Crucial Conference League Playoff Match Against Katowice
Hapoel Tel Aviv aims to secure their spot in the Conference League playoffs with a second-leg match against Katowice on Wednesday, following a 2-0 advantage from the first game. Coach Eliniv Breda plans to maintain the same starting lineup as the initial match, including Doron Leidner as left back, Omri Altman on the left wing, and Roi Elkukin as the attacking midfielder. Douglas Awusu, a winger, has been added to the squad and may make his debut off the bench.
Breda emphasized the challenging atmosphere expected for the match, warning his players that "nothing is decided yet, it can be reversed," and that Katowice will come to press aggressively, making it a different style of game. Around 500 Hapoel fans are expected to attend, with heavy security measures in place due to tensions surrounding the fixture.
The probable lineup includes Asaf Tzur in goal; defenders Doron Leidner, Chico, Fernan Mayembo, and Marcus Coco; midfielders Adrian Kravets, Lucas Falcao, and Roi Elkukin; and forwards Satu Turiel, Omri Altman, and Emmanuel Boateng. The team is focused on closing out the tie and advancing in European competition.
