Two days to the important game of the season: Maccabi Haifa is accelerating its preparations for the big Wednesday, so it will meet Maccabi Tel Aviv – for a meeting that may pave the way for it for the first championship after a decade. The good news for the Greens came from Jose Rodriguez (former Maccabi Tel Aviv player), who will try to return to training at the end of the three-week rehabilitation period. 1: 1 against Hapoel Beer Sheva.

Carmel will try to train the Spanish midfielder, in order for him to collaborate again with Neta Lavi and Muhammad Abu Fani, who proved this year that they are the best trio in the league. Abu Fani is recovering from a shoulder injury, but it is estimated that he will be fit to play, after serving a suspension against Bnei Sakhnin.
Those who may lose their place in Barak Bachar’s 11 are Omar Atzili and Yuval Ashkenazi. If Abu Fani and Rodriguez are eligible they are likely to be given priority over the two who opened on Saturday. If Noble goes down to the bench against the ex, it will be Charon Cherry who will be shifted to the far-right position, a position he has excelled so far during the season.
