Israel National Team Prepares in Serbia for Crucial Match Against Ireland

The Israel national team, which arrived in Serbia from Hungary on Friday, will hold its final training session ahead of tomorrow's match against Ireland in Backa Topola. The team will train in Novi Sad, and in the evening, head coach Ran Ben Shimon will hold the pre-match press conference. The boycott between the Israeli and Irish squads, which was evident during their match in Debrecen, will continue in Serbia, with both teams meeting only on the pitch tomorrow.

"We have a big debt to repay ourselves and everyone," members of the squad said. "We secured our first point against Kosovo, and it should give us a boost going forward. God forbid we think or feel that a draw and stopping the losses is enough for us. There is a lot at stake against Ireland, and everyone is aware of that."

Four players have started all three matches in this campaign so far: Manor Solomon, Eliel Peretz, Anan Khalaili, and Nikita Stoyanov. While all four are expected to retain their places if fit, doubts remain. Eliel Peretz and Nikita Stoyanov are likely to keep their spots after finishing Wednesday's match against Kosovo in full health. However, Khalaili is dealing with an injury and was substituted, making him doubtful, while Manor Solomon finished the game with back pain, and the medical staff will work to fit him for tomorrow.

Manager Ben Shimon is expected to deploy a three-center-back formation once again. The coaching staff was satisfied with the performance of Idan Nachmias, Raz Shlomo, and Nikita Stoyanov, who are expected to continue together. Roy Revivo is slated to return to the left flank after missing the Kosovo fixture.

Tais Baribo has a good chance of retaining his spot in the starting eleven despite missing two major scoring opportunities against Kosovo. Dor Peretz, who wore the captain's armband, will also start, and Eitan Azoulay has an excellent chance of keeping his place after making a strong impact as a substitute in Debrecen.
