Maccabi Haifa will hold today (Friday) its concluding training ahead of tomorrow’s “Champion of Champions” game against Hapoel B’Shlosha. Piero, Daniel Sundgren and Pierre Corno, are expected to make their debut at the Sami Ofer Stadium and the three are in the lineup.
Yinon Eliyahu is also expected to make an official debut in the green uniform. For Nikita Rokavica it will be a renewed premiere and a spicy encounter against the ex who has given up his services. Barak Bachar is expected to come up with a strong squad, but with a mind to the game in the middle of the week against Olympiacos in the Champions League qualifiers. Throughout the preseason games, Neta Lavie and Muhammad Abu Fani have been given priority in the link over Ali Muhammad and Mahmoud Jaber and they are likely to open tomorrow as well.
Charon Cherry’s place seems to be guaranteed, but on the other hand, it is not yet clear whether Omar Atzili will open against BS or keep him for Olympiacos. In Greece it is reported that Olympiacos coach Pedro Martinez will come to the game on Saturday to follow his opponent. A thousand green fans will come to the game tomorrow.
