Maccabi Haifa will go tomorrow (Sunday) to an away game against Sektia Nes Ziona after nine consecutive league victories and the 1:5 in the derby, in the round of 16 of the cup.
Coach Barak Becher is planning several changes in the lineup from the 11 that started on Wednesday.
The first is forced, when the defender Pierre Cornot is injured and his place will be filled by San Menachem.
Beyond that, Omer Atzili and Dean David are supposed to return to the lineup in place of Mavis Chibuta and Nikita Rukavica.
The latter is carrying a minor injury from the derby after the tackle with Gal Aral.
Dean David scored in the Greens' last five games, including the cup game in which he came on as a substitute.
Midfielder Dolev Haziza, who started in the derby for the first time in the lineup, will continue to receive credit.
Midfielder Mohamed Abu Fani is still suffering from rib pain and will not play.
Neta Lavi and Ali Mohamed will continue in the center of the link, while for the former it may be a farewell game before the move to Gamba Osaka.
"We need to continue the good performance from the derby," said Becher ahead of the match at the Moshava Stadium, "if we do that then we will win. We have a tough game ahead of us."
Regarding his team's winning streak, he said: "In a second of lack of concentration, we could lose it. We have an away game against a dangerous team with talented players. There is a new coach there and it is not clear how they will play. We are not thinking about breaking a winning record, that is good and nice to the statistics. We lost to Jerusalem and Rayna, and we don't want that to happen again."
Beyond that, about 8,000 fans are expected to accompany Maccabi Haifa tomorrow, in a game where the Greens are expected to have a home atmosphere.
