Tiberias Faces Offensive Challenges Ahead of Kiryat Shmona Clash

After securing a crucial opening win against Hapoel Petah Tikva, Ironi Tiberias is set to visit Hapoel Kiryat Shmona on Saturday aiming to maintain their positive momentum with a second consecutive victory. However, coaches Alon Ziv and Moti Krispil will have to manage without three key offensive players. Wing player Mansour Badji sustained an injury in the last match and will be absent, with Nana Gambel expected to take his place. Additionally, Kayes Ganem remains sidelined due to ongoing issues. Itamar Shabiro, who started the previous game, continues to experience knee pain, prompting the team to avoid risking him; Samir Farhoud, on loan from Hapoel Be'er Sheva, is anticipated to make his first start in the lineup. Defensively, Ziv Morgan is included for the first time in the starting eleven, partnering with Ron Ungar and Ondzej Bachu at the back. Midfielders Daniel Golani, Ari Cohen, and Chris Koaku will continue their roles from the previous round. The projected lineup includes Ido Sharon in goal; defenders Guy Senker, Ron Ungar, Ondzej Bachu, Ziv Morgan, and Gal Ma'atok; midfielders Chris Koaku, Ari Cohen, Daniel Golani, and Nana Gambel; and forward Samir Farhoud.
