After the crazy turnaround in the dramatic 2: 3 over Maccabi Tel Aviv, breaking the shocking streak against the big rival and reducing the gap from the table leader Hapoel Beer Sheva to two points, Maccabi Haifa began to prepare for the upcoming league game against the table lock Maccabi Petah Tikva. Despite the differences in position between the teams, Haifa is not relieved by an opponent who will be looking for its first victory in the Klinger era against the champion.

A big disappointment ahead of the game is actually registered among the fans, who can not purchase tickets beyond the 5,400 tickets sold so far, because the police demands have led to a freeze on sales. “This is a game that can bring 15 and even 20,000 fans, it is a pity that only 5,400 of our fans can come,” they said in Haifa.

Jose Rodriguez, who missed the game against Maccabi Tel Aviv, is also in doubt for Saturday’s game. In Haifa they will try to train the player, who has been on the rise recently and showed very dominant ability, especially at the back. When the club’s goal is to reach financial agreements with it and continue the engagement between the parties, it is estimated that the club will not give up the relationship.

By the way, Josh Cohen is also expected to extend his contract with the team during January. In the near future, behind-the-scenes attempts will be made to reach an understanding with Ludogorets regarding Mavis Chibuta, who is on a private vacation in the country and very much wants to join the Greens.

Mahmoud Jaber, who is recovering from an injury, is only scheduled to return to the cup game against Beitar Jerusalem next Wednesday. Jaber, whose injury interrupted his good streak, is set to return to the squad at the expense of the yellowed Ali Muhammad.

In another matter, the club is satisfied that the decision to prosecute the team due to the events of the game against Maccabi Tel Aviv is not on the section “fan riot in serious circumstances” and therefore the condition for closing the stands is invalid.
