Zobas will make a debut, Hapoel Tel Aviv comes as an underdog to Teddy

Hapoel Tel Aviv

After a bad professional period, a change of coaches and a subdued atmosphere in the club, Hapoel Tel Aviv will arrive tomorrow (Saturday, 15:00, Sport3) at Teddy Stadium as a definite underdog in the away game against Hapoel Jerusalem.

Emilius Zubas will make his debut between the posts, with Eddy Gottlieb and Or Israelov expected to start together in the center of defense given the absence of Antoine Conte and Stav Lemkin. Israelov was late for training today, but was allowed to go on the field and as mentioned may start in the shadow of Conte and Lemkin’s shortcomings. Yahav Gorfinkel, who was doubtful, has recovered and should also be included in the 11. No changes are expected in the link and attack.

Coach Haim Silves will talk to the players about Jerusalem’s strong points, especially the two wing players Jordan Butaka and Guy Badash and the addition of the defenders. The club said: “We believe it is possible to win, but we are not in a good position. A week before the derby we have to give everything to lift the fans and the atmosphere a little.”
