Maccabi Tel Aviv will be hosted tomorrow (Saturday, 19:50) in Kiryat Shmona and will try to continue its incredible streak under Patrick Van Levon and accumulate another victory in the league, to ensure another week at the top. The Yellows are in excellent momentum, but are also dragging quite a bit of load following the many games in the last month (8) and in addition continue to suffer from a particularly lacking staff.
To Jonathan Cohen, who will try to return in the middle of the week in the cup, and Alexander Peshich, who has recovered from Corona but is not yet fit to play, should be added Dan Glazer, who continues to rest to try and treat inflammation from the waist to abdominal muscles. Against Betar Jerusalem with tenderness in the muscle and striker Tal Ben Haim, who is excluded from the upcoming game due to yellow cards.
Shahar Phiben will return after serving a suspension but it seems that Van Leven will continue with Sharan Yeni in the back link following his very good performance against Betar Jerusalem. Maor Kandil will replace Geralds who is not expected to dress for the game. Beyond that, another possible change is the placement of Dan Bitton on offense at the expense of Eduardo Guerrero. Maccabi Tel Aviv estimates that Van Leven will make the bigger rotation in the cup game against Hapoel Haifa.
“We made a big turnaround in the table and came back from the grave, there was already a feeling that there was no chance of getting anything out of this season, we started talking about maybe a cup season, and suddenly we got back to business but all this big turnaround is not sure to help us if we don’t win in Kiryat Shmona. We need to beat Kiryat Shmona and the derby. Only then will the change we really made get a real stamp and send us to the playoffs from the top, but the game against KS is much harder than our previous games against Betar Jerusalem and MS Ashdod. Much much harder. ” , Said Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Estimated composition: Daniel Tennenbaum, Maor Kandil, Luis Hernandez, Eitan Tibi, Enrique Sborit, Sharan Yeni, Dor Peretz, Eyal Golsa, Dan Bitton, Matan Hozaz and Itai Schechter.
Morgan will return to the KS squad instead of Ben Shimon
Kiryat Shmona will reach the game against Maccabi Tel Aviv after scoring 7 points in the last three rounds and establishing itself in fifth place, which at the end of the regular season, while two rounds, will lead to the top playoff. Ahead of the game, the team’s coach, Kobi Refuah, will benefit from the return of Ziv Morgan, who ran a dismissal due to the accumulation of yellows, and is expected to take the place of Amir Ben Shimon at 11.
Due to the heavy load resulting from the completion games, a reminder of the team’s freeze due to a corona eruption, Refuah will have to decide whether to split minutes and rotate or continue with the skeleton showing good ability in recent weeks, “there is fatigue and no one argues but until “We are not going to lose him,” they said in the Kirya.
Captain, The era of Nachmias, He said ahead of the game: ‘A challenging game awaits us against a strong opponent, we are happy to play again in front of our crowd in our home and want to get to do the work and continue the momentum in accumulating points. I personally believe that anything is possible in our home. ‘
Only 750 spectators will be allowed to enter the game, and it is estimated that a significant number of ticket buyers will also be Maccabi Tel Aviv fans, some of whom we watched this week to buy tickets, since the sale is only physical at the box office.
