Maccabi Haifa already landed in Cyprus yesterday for the match against Apollon Limassol, and despite a 0:4 advantage from the first match, coach Barak Becher made it clear to the players: "You have to go through the second leg well as well, they will come enthusiastically at the beginning to try to score an early goal, we will not give them the This".
Along with these things, Bacher is planning several changes in the lineup.
Midfielder Dolev Haziza should be careful of receiving a yellow card that will prevent him from playing against Red Star Belgrade in the playoff phase and is not expected to play.
Omer Atzili, who started the last two games in Europe on the bench, will start in his place.
Other players who are expected to get minutes are the left defender San Menachem and the midfielder Mohamed Abu Fani.
Over 2,000 green fans already started the chain of flights to the neighboring island yesterday, although most of them purchased the packages even before the first game.
By the way, on one of the flights the team's defender, Yanon Eliyahu, arrived a day after the rest of his teammates due to a personal problem.

The fans will stay during the week in Limassol and not in Nicosia, which is not considered a tourist destination.
"We mainly came to enjoy ourselves, we deserve it after the 0:4 in the first game," said Yaniv, one of the fans on the morning flight (Monday) to Larnaca.
