Although Hapoel Haifa managed to escape a bit from the crowded bottom last Saturday with a sweet victory over Hapoel Kfar Saba, Haim Sylves is looking for stability and hopes to show the same good ability against MS Ashdod, which he will meet tomorrow (Tuesday) at the Eleventh Stadium.
“The proximity between the games is very tight,” Sylves said before the match. “It’s hard to play in Ashdod away, it’s a great team with players and a good coach who proves every Saturday that their place is up – but we have our desires and qualities and we come to take points.”
At the professional level, the coach will arrive without Ahmed Darawshe who will be out for about three months due to a groin tear. Also in the missing persons section: Case Ganem, who is suffering from a knee injury, William Agada, who recently returned to training and is recovering from an injury to the back thigh muscle, and Jasmine Borich, who is suffering from a similar injury.
Ruslan Bersky, who injured his shoulder, will be examined before the game and is expected to be fit and open in the squad. Although the coach did not practice his 11th in the concluding training, it seems that the only change that will be made is the preference of Sahar Padida, who recently experienced an excellent personal period, over Gal Erel in the center of the field. Raz Stein will continue to get the credit in the offense alongside Ness Zamir.
Estimated composition: Holy gem; Dor Malul, Miki Sirushtein, Nisso Capiloto, Yahav Gurfinkel; Liran Serdel, Sahar Padida, Ruslan Bersky, Hanan Maman; Ness Zamir and Raz Stein.
