Beitar Jerusalem
In the reality of Betar Jerusalem, games against the teams vying for the title are less interesting to the crowd. Currently the feeling is that Maccabi Haifa, Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Beer Sheva are in a different league, and if there are games that the crowd marks most of all are the Jerusalem derby and meetings with Hapoel Tel Aviv The team went through the Jerusalem derby successfully and the fans got some oxygen and faith, tonight close to 8,000 yellow-blacks will come to Bloomfield to enjoy another rare moment of joy in this difficult season that takes place in the shadow of the owner's (temporary at least) abandonment.
In Erwin Koeman's summer job planning, the brakes were supposed to be Uriel Degani and Zer (Joshua Mahias) and defenders Dor Alo and Max Grechkin. Tonight the back squad will look completely different: Degani and Mahias were injured in the national team games, Grechkin suffers from severe ankle pain and as of this morning the chances of him playing are not high, negotiations with them fell flat and after Amit Cohen's injury Refreshing. Until further notice, Betar connects the defense with plasters.
But the problems do not end in defense.
Marco Jankovic also returned from the national team backlog with groin pain and complained that he could not train.
The medical staff do not quite understand what the Montenegrin is going through, but since the Jerusalem derby he has actually been lost.
After the loss in Ashdod, Erwin Koeman had a difficult conversation with the player and made it clear to him to stop messing around while playing, against Kiryat Shmona he was eliminated and came on in the 63rd minute reluctantly, and even after the break he returned from his team games radiated similar energies.
And yet - Betar has high expectations of him.
He is able to hold the middle for us alone. "
The national team break did not improve the condition of the desire muscle either.

So Jankovic is not in the squad tonight, and with the sparse link there are not many choices and Aviel Zargari, who is returning from a back injury, will be thrown into the fray. Zargari has only recently returned to the squad and has not even made a proper training game along the way, in terms of playing ability and physicality he is far from ready, but in the current situation Koeman has had to use what he has. The professional team would also like to use Kemsu Mara as much as possible, and there were even those who wanted him to start in the squad at Jankovic's expense, but as of Tuesday the physiological team's beating was that he would not play more than half. Unless Coman decides at the last minute that there is no choice and bets on him, he will not open.
In this situation the free space in the link goes to Jordan Shua.
If the link cannot be thickened, go for the offensive composition.
In what role will Shua be placed?
You could call it 10, there are those who would define it as a second striker, but in any case Shua will have to work much harder tonight than he is used to to help link.
In the last goal of the team against Kiryat Shmona, Shua and Niv Zrihan collaborated nicely and showed how much potential the two have together.
Too many years they have potential with developed self-destruction, but it's time to start providing receipts.
Who is supposed to provide numbers provide receipts for Richmond Boachi, who so far has been involved in three of the team's five goals.
Problematic situation.

Hapoel Tel Aviv
Nir Klinger will want a dismissal penalty tonight for the last time following the derby events in the Cup final, but players on the team admit that his disadvantage on the lines is very noticeable. The team is witnessing an "unhealthy" situation in which Klinger is passing training but has been forced to stay away from selling grass in games. Klinger is trying to minimize the damage and has found a way to communicate with the bench and pass instructions under restrictions, but he also understands that tonight will be a different opera.
It will be a game of way for the Reds. After the summer acquisition and renewed expectations, the team has yet to rise and present the football that is expected of it. After two wins in the first two rounds, the Reds have scored just two points in the last three games and want to go back and produce a series of wins that will start tonight.
Klinger this week practiced arrays of 4 and 5 players on defense.
He remembers well the Toto Cup game against Betar where the team was exposed and Betar got into a lot of easy situations.
At the same time, Hapoel has closely monitored the staff situation in Betar, the deductions and problems, and is preparing accordingly.

If Koeman does not make a last-minute change and surprises with five players on defense, the Reds will try to take advantage of the injury of Betar's brake squad that should include Ophir Krieff and David Hoja. Hapoel Tel Aviv knows that Betar raises improvised defense even in the defensive positions. If Oren Bitton opens on the left and Roi Herman on the right, the Reds will try to create a numerical advantage on the wings, especially in light of the offensive ability of Ben Bitton and Doron Leidner.
Shai Elias will be missing in the link and Yoav Hompeister will replace him, and the question mark remains whether Ofek Bitton will be included in the trio in the center of the field, a recipe that succeeded in the game against Kiryat Shmona that was the team's best this season. In the front the coach made quite a few changes throughout the week. For now, it seems that Yoav Tomer's place in the attack is guaranteed, but behind him there is a dilemma between Farley Rosa, Idan Vered, Osher Davida and the striker Shlomi Azulai.
Will the recipe that worked in front of Kiryat Shmona be restored?

The injured Lucio will be out of the game, and when he returns he will have to significantly improve his ability until the transfer window in January, otherwise Klinger will look for another striker.
More than 11,000 red fans will certainly come to Bloomfield, and a total of about 20,000 spectators are expected to fill the stands tonight.
For one evening, none of them will care about the situation in the table, only the bottom line in front of the sworn opponent.
