The Premier League where today (Saturday) is a three-week break, when the leader Hapoel Beer Sheva opens the tenth round in an away game against the top of the table in Kiryat Shmona. The host arrives after the change of coaches, with Slobodan Drapic making his debut on the lines as Northern coach, wanting to embark on a new path and escape from the last place they got into. On the other hand, Roni Levy’s team wants to return to the winning track after finishing twice in 1: 1 in the previous two rounds.
Aid Habashi, who is positive for Corona, is not at the disposal of Drapic, who shortly before the game suffered another blow when Morgan Fryer, Ziv Morgan and Guy Mizrahi were dropped from the squad because they did not feel well. Itai Ben Shabbat opened as a stopper, Ala Jaffer on the left and Muhammad Shachar on the right wing. Montenegrin striker Stefan Milosevic also got the chance in the host squad. On the other side, Davida Petrucci and Nikita Rokavitsia rise in 11 from Beer Sheva, with Eitan Tibi opening in the center of defense alongside Miguel Vitor and Iyad Abu Abid. Kiryat Shmona is looking for a first league victory over the rival from the Negev capital since May 2015.
