Maccabi Haifa Prepares to Face Maccabi Tel Aviv In Important Match
Tonight at 20:30, Maccabi Haifa will take on Maccabi Tel Aviv at Bloomfield Stadium in a crucial game that could potentially “save the season” for them. A victory in this game would open up the fight for the championship and reduce the gap from the top to only five points.
Despite facing some significant challenges, including the absence of key players such as Abdoulaye Sak and Manuel Kapumana “Show” who are preparing for the African Championship, Maccabi Haifa is determined to bring home the points.
In addition to the absence of several players, including the injured Daniel Sondgren, Ilai Hajjaj, and Dolev Haziza, there are concerns about the fitness of the team’s top goal scorer, Franzi Piero. Nevertheless, Piero is expected to be in the squad and the team is hopeful that his services will not be needed.
Maccabi Haifa is also looking to integrate two new purchase players, Kenny Seif and Gadi Kinda, during the game. While Seif is in better shape, Kinda, who has not played in recent times, may need some time to adjust.
“We are coming to a game of an entire season and it really doesn’t matter how and in what formation we play. The most important thing is that we know how not to absorb in the first minutes, thus cooling the enthusiasm of Maccabi Tel Aviv, which will strive to start a storm and attack us from the first moment. We have a team good enough to do the job and win,” said the team ahead of the important match.
In terms of tactical preparation, coach Masai Dago is expected to prepare a slightly different formation for tonight’s game, especially in the attack.
The team is also looking into potential signings, with a breakthrough appearing to be in place regarding the transfer of Danil Lesvoi from Dynamo Moscow. Additionally, the team is still searching for an Israeli striker, with Case Ganem from Maccabi Bnei Rayna being a previous option before he suffered an injury in the last game.
With an approximate starting lineup of Sharif Kiuf, Ilai Feingold, Lorenzo Shimich, Sean Goldberg, Pierre Corneau, Ali Muhammad, Mahmoud Jaber, Lior Rafalov, Chiron Sheri, Anan Halaili, and Dean David, Maccabi Haifa is gearing up for a challenging but crucial match.
Coach Dago expressed confidence in the team, stating that “things depend on us” and that he is looking forward to the game.
