Maccabi Haifa players celebrate with Jose Rodriguez (Shahar Gross)
Without taking Rokavica who gradually returned to training, Goodsway Donio who was injured in the last game and also Dolev Haziza who was sent off, Maccabi Haifa hopes to continue the momentum and ensure at least one more round at the top, when tomorrow (Saturday, 19:50) it will host Maccabi Petah Tikva and Guy Luzon.
Compared to the missing, those who will return to the Greens are Eid Habashi, who will return from suspension, and Yuval Ashkenazi, who will be on the roster after a long absence due to injury. Haifa knows very well that the road to a title is difficult and winding and is convinced that the ability in the second half against Hapoel Tel Aviv, although not a characteristic of the team, will not return against the Malabes in order not to allow Maccabi Tel Aviv II to close the gap or perhaps pass them.
Muhammad Awad, who was returned in the transfer window, is expected to open in the center of attack alongside Omar Atzili and Chiron Sheri, who scored the first goal in Bloomfield. No change is expected in the link when Jose Rodriguez, Muhammad Abu Fani and Neta Lavi will continue. The team is aware of what is happening among the social networks where the fans feel frustration and discrimination from the referees, but the team prefers to concentrate on themselves. “We have to do our job on the pitch and not engage in anything else. “We have proven so far that we are the best and play the best football in the country and that is the most important and that is the only thing that needs to be concentrated on,” the team said.
