Hapoel Haifa
Elisha Levy’s players trained this morning (Monday) in a sports hall in Kiryat Haim due to the difficult weather, when the team actually completed the preparations for tomorrow’s game (19:15, Sport1). The training did not allow coach Elisha Levy to practice the vehicle, but it is estimated that Izochuku Anthony, Itai Boganim and Guy Mishpati will enter the 11th at the expense of Ben Wahba, Jubilee Bushnak and Kevin Tapuko. In addition, there is a dilemma between Noam Cohen and Dor Malul in the position of right defender. Those who will not be available to Levy are the sick Liran Serdel and Vasco Tora, who suffers from gingivitis.
Hapoel Haifa hopes to get out of the bad period and it is clear to everyone that if they start the round as they finished the previous one, the team will move away from the goal, which is to get a ticket to the top playoffs. “It’s going to be a busy week,” coach Elisha Levy stated this morning, “We have shortcomings and it’s tough, but all the teams go through it and you have to know how to deal with it. The healthy and those who are in a better physical condition. “
Estimated composition: Tal Bumstein, Noam Cohen, Izochukov Anthony, Nisso Capiloto, Dudi Twito, Gal Erel, Guy Mishpati, Saar Padida, Hanan Maman, Itai Boganim, Alan Ozbolt.
Maccabi Netanya
Brake Lem’s team will try to come back to win after three rounds that did not. Maccabi Netanya is in the dangerous area at the bottom of the table and only a point away from the red line, so the team hopes that the close victory over Hapoel Petah Tikva in the eighth round of the State Cup will restore some confidence to the players for tomorrow.
Zlatan Shachovich, who did not play in the cup, will return to the squad at the expense of Rotem Keller. Lem will be missing the injured Aviv Avraham and the dismissed Parfa Gijon, while Shai Konstantin and Eden Kartzev are still unfit and neither are they on the roster.
“We want to open the second round well, improve everything we did not do well in the first round and start accumulating points,” the coach said ahead of the game. “We are expecting a tough game against a good team, which is in a bad period, but it has good player material. We are far away and injured, but everyone who comes into the game will give 100% and I believe it will be good,” the coach added.
Estimated composition: Danny Amos, Karem Jaber, Shir Tzedek, Raz Shlomo, Zeltan Shachovich, Boris Ano, Omri Gandelman, Yuval Sadeh, Abubkar Dombia, Yaniv Mizrahi, Igor Zlatanovich.
