Summary: Kiryat Shmona - Maccabi Haifa 3:2 (Sport1)
tax.
Ashdod
After the home loss to Beitar Jerusalem, which was received very harshly in the club, and after the Brazilian Lucas Salinas tore the cruciate ligament in his knee and ended the season, MS Ashdod will try to regain their spirits in the very difficult away game at Sami Ofer against Maccabi Haifa. On the one hand , remember in Ashdod the six that they suffered last season from the champion, on the other hand, the team does not forget that the Greens had difficulty returning from the Champions League to the Premier League this season and suffered losses against Hapoel Jerusalem and Bnei Rayna because of this.
Apart from Salinas, who as mentioned ended the season at such an early stage, Ran Ben Shimon will be missing tomorrow Shalu Harush too and apparently also Yaacob Barihon. The two are suffering from strains and most likely will not dress. However, the coach will receive Timothy Avani back and he is expected to return and play in a formation of three defenders with captain Tom Ben Zaken also scheduled to start. The team is expected to advance with two strikers , with Ben Shimon preferring another midfielder to deal with Maccabi Haifa's outstanding strength in the center of the field.
Approximate lineup:
Yoav Jarfi, Zohar Zasno, Tom Ben Zaken, Timothy Avani, Nenad Tsvatkovich, Gil Cohen, Naor Sebag, Jordan Saban, Samuel Alabi, Muhammad Canaan, Ebenezer Mamata.
Winner believes that this time Maccabi Haifa will not stumble upon its return from the Champions League to the Premier League, and gave a ratio of 1.25 for its victory, compared to a ratio of 6.30 for Ashdod's victory and 4.60 for a draw.
But after the defeat in Paris, and when the head is already in a match against Benfica that may send it to the Europa League, it can certainly lose more points in the league, even in a home game.

Barak Becher will certainly make changes to the lineup compared to the match against Paris Saint-Germain, but he has not practiced a specific 11 since Maccabi Haifa landed in Israel on Wednesday, so among the champion's players there is an eagerness to know who will start.
Only Meir and Dean David are expected to be included in the lineup, the coach is debating whether to include Abdoulaye Sek who scored a double in France, as well as between Mavis Chibuta and Franziska Pierrot.
"We are not looking for excuses, not an unusual hour, nor fatigue. We are after a difficult defeat, even though we did everything from our point of view, but there is nothing better than coming back and winning the league, which is no less important. That is the goal," said Becher ahead of the meeting with Ashdod .
"This is a good team that causes trouble if you come in a bad way, so it is important that we come in the best way with 30,000 fans who will come and support. You have to do everything to win. Everywhere the crowd gives its signals and shows total control, even in Paris it was very dominant. Obviously at home It's a completely different story and we'll need the audience to help us."
Muhammad Abu Fani added: "Tomorrow will be a very difficult game against a team that has made life difficult for us many times. We hope to come and do our job and make the crowd happy. They give a tremendous boost, it's like another player for the team and it's very significant for us."
Maccabi Haifa woke up this morning to some difficult news: the wife of Uri Harel, from the team of fitness trainers, passed away after a battle with a serious illness.
Estimated Lineup: Josh Cohen, Raz Meir, Sean Goldberg, Abdoulaye Sek, Pierre Corneau, Ali Muhammad, Muhammad Abu Fani, Charon Sherry, Omar Azili, Dean David, Franzi Piero.
Victory will be a perfect "cure" for defeat.

Ashdod at the municipal stadium in Haifa was in the previous term of Ran Ben Shimon, who then served a ban and sat in the stands in a 0:1 in February 2017. Since then there have been five green victories and one draw (3:3 in December 2019).
* Maccabi Haifa has a perfect home record so far.
If she wins for the fifth time as well, it will be her best streak at the start of a season since 2009/10, when she won all the first nine home games (in Kiryat Eliezer).
* Maccabi Haifa remains the only team in the league that has not yet finished the first half of the season with a lead.
