Maccabi Haifa will host the Haifa derby against Hapoel this evening (Monday) and will try to increase the gap against Hapoel BS back to four points. Since the streak of 11 consecutive victories of the Greens from Carmel was stopped, the team has not connected two consecutive league victories and will be able to do so tonight.
As expected, Barak Becher will make a revolution in the 11 that started in the cup game against Maccabi Netanya. Omar Atzili and Dolev Haziza are expected to start the attack alongside Dia Saba who scored against Netanya, while Dean David and Ferentzadi Piero are expected to drop to the bench.
Charon Sherry will return to the lineup at the expense of Goni Naor, while Muhammad Abu Fani is expected to come off the bench. Josh Cohen will start in goal, and Pierre Cornot will start at the expense of Dylan in Tubinsica.
Barak Becher and the professional staff have quite a headache in regards to the staff, when Mavis Chibuta may be deprived of it once again. This is a very important game, and Bacher talked about the madness from the start, the high tempo, the pressure and sending many players to the front. The club emphasized this: “Enough time has passed since the game against Maccabi Netanya. We have proven throughout the season that we know how to get up from falls, certainly with the crowd behind us. We will rise with full motivation.”
The group is disappointed by the gentlemanly decision to give Hapoel Haifa 1,500 additional tickets due to the fact that the city rival sold only a quarter of the amount. The club is conducting security checks on a buffer that will allow Maccabi Haifa fans to purchase tickets.
Estimated composition: Josh Cohen; Daniel Sondgren, Abdoulaye Sek, Sean Goldberg, Pierre Cournot; Ali Muhammad, Mahmoud Jaber (Mohammed Abu Fani), Charon Sherry; Omar Atzili, Dolev Haziza (Frentzadi Piero), Dia Saba.
