Maccabi Petah Tikva Prepares for Tiberias Clash with New Signing Dadi

Following their 2-1 victory over Hapoel Ramat Gan, Maccabi Petah Tikva is gearing up for the ranking match for 11th-12th place this Saturday against Ironi Tiberias. The team aims to secure a second win in the preseason Toto Cup tournament. Coach Ziv Arie is expected to reintegrate veteran defender Eitan Tibi into the squad after Tibi completed full training sessions recently, although he has not yet been included in the lineup. Another possible returnee is Li-Yam Dan, while new signing Or Dadi is set to be available for selection.

The club is actively seeking further reinforcements, especially after midfielder Adar Ratner suffered a meniscus injury. They are looking to add a foreign central defender and possibly an Israeli attacker. Despite the Toto Cup being a preparatory competition, the team values victories, especially following a notable derby win against Hapoel. The club has conducted numerous experiments so far and aims to finish the tournament on a positive note.
