Ironi Kiryat Shmona Hosts Maccabi Haifa in Ligat HaAl Clash
This evening (Saturday), Ironi Kiryat Shmona is set to host Maccabi Haifa at HaMoshava Stadium in Netanya as part of the Ligat HaAl. Maccabi Haifa, coached by Barak Bachar, arrives with a buoyant spirit following their recent victory against Hapoel Tel Aviv, where they secured a 2-1 win with several players who had yet to play this season stepping up impressively.
Team Performance and Key Players
Maccabi Haifa’s recent performance has left them in good spirits, particularly after the standout contributions from players such as Yinon Feingertz and Guy Melamed, both of whom continue to earn their places in Bachar’s starting eleven alongside Michael Ohana. In contrast, Kiryat Shmona, managed by Shai Barada, faces pressure to perform following a recent draw against Bnei Sakhnin, where they led until the 72nd minute before conceding an equalizer.
