When it is in a good period in the league and only three points from second place, Hapoel Beer Sheva want to start the second round of the league, just as they finished the first round – with a victory. Yossi Aboksis’ team, which needed to make efforts to beat Maccabi Netanya in the opening round of the season (2: 3 in Teddy), will have to be at its best on Saturday to return home with three more points to the Negev.
In the last three games against Netanya, Hapoel Beer Sheva has won twice and once again ended in a draw. The last time GSS lost to Netanya was in Turner when Barak Bachar coached. Of the 11 they opened then, only two will open on Saturday, Ohad Levita and Louis Taha.
The expelled Rohan Kabha will be absent, as will Cynthia Sallich, Gal Levy, Amit Bitton and Eitan Ratzon, who are injured. According to the concluding training, it seems that Yossi Aboksis will make only one change from the victory in the previous round over Bnei Yehuda and is also forced, with Ramzi Spori replacing Sallich.
Five days before the meeting with ex Barak Bachar and Maccabi Haifa, the club hopes to reach this game with 3 more points at the box office. Aboksis broadcast a video of the opponent yesterday and concentrated mainly on the pressure work of Netanya in the opponent’s part of the field and warned from the front: “If they are given space they will know how to score in front of us.”
The club claimed that after the game against Hapoel Hadera on January 9, negotiations will begin to accelerate the addition of two players in positions that Yossi Aboksis is looking for. If Hatem ‘Abd al-Hamid is loaned out, he will be considered when in the meantime players’ agents have asked to pass on the names of attacking players.
Estimated composition: Ohad Levita; Or Dadia, Louis Taha, Miguel Vitor, Sean Goldberg; Mariano Briero, Marcelo Mali, Jessewa, Ramsey Spouri; Elton Acultasa, Anthony and Arn.
