Maccabi Haifa will host Maccabi Netanya tomorrow (Tuesday) at Sami Ofer Stadium in the second leg of the quarter-finals of the State Cup, after 2:2 in the first match.
Coach Barak Becher was very satisfied with the last game, in which the Greens beat Beitar Jerusalem 1:2, but in light of the fact that he has three games ahead of him in nine days, he will make several changes to the lineup.
Striker Dean David is in the 11 picture, although it is not yet clear whether Bacher would prefer to play with two strikers or give up Franzadi Piero, who started and scored against Beitar.
In goal, Roi Mishfati is expected to start in place of Josh Cohen, and he will continue to be used as the goalkeeper of the cup for the Greens.
"Maccabi Netanya is always a tough game both at home and away," midfielder Dolev Haziza said ahead of the rematch and added: "They will give 1000 percent, we will have to give more and continue the madness that was in the game against Beitar. There are always tough and fascinating games against Netanya, They are an offensive team that presses all over the field, but we will have to find solutions."

We don't think too far after the last month because when you think far, the upcoming things are missed. We always want to make history, as I remember Maccabi Haifa's games in the league The champions I was as a child, in the cup anything can happen and we have to arrive one hundred percent ready in the head."
