Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Beitar Jerusalem 0:1/Sport1
Maccabi Tel Aviv
Robbie Keane's team will hold its first training session in the evening since the great victory over Olympiakos, and this will also be the final training session before the meeting with Beitar. The coach diagnosed that the team needed rest after the effort in Athens and decided to let the players rest yesterday upon returning to Israel, and forgo the planned training session at noon in Kiryat Shalom.
Keane will have to decide whether to make changes to the 11 that started in Piraeus and how much to rotate. It is possible that the decision will be made only tomorrow and not at the end of training tonight, and in any case the Irishman is expected to hold talks with the players to understand who needs rest and who feels fresh enough to start Also in the lineup against Beitar Jerusalem.
The assessment among the players is that Cain will make a maximum of two changes and maybe even less, so that most of the players who started yesterday will also be in the lineup tomorrow.
Beyond taking into account the fact that only the day before yesterday the team played with high intensity, Cain should also take into account that he has a return game on Thursday in Serbia (10:00 p.m., Sport2) and hence one eye will still be squinting at the important game in Bacca Tupola, after which Maccabi Tel Aviv can register an unprecedented achievement to the club and qualify for the quarter-finals of a European enterprise.
Most likely, if Cain makes changes, they will be in the wings, in the defensive positions or on the wings, while there is always the possibility that he will let Eran Zahavi rest at the beginning of the game and go up with Dor Turgeman in the lineup.
5,500 Maccabi Tel Aviv fans bought tickets to the southern stand at Teddy and the club estimates that 7,000 fans will accompany them in the end.
After a day of rest, Maccabi Tel Aviv is expected to continue with full intensity.
