Hapoel Hadera Aims for Points Before International Break, Sissoko and Donio to Start

Hapoel Hadera will face Hapoel Jerusalem in their first league game of the season, hoping to build on their scoreless draw against Hapoel Haifa in the first round. Coach Haim Silves is eager to see improvement in their attack, with a key focus on finding a rhythm before the international break. The team will be without forward Ibrahim Sangare due to an injury, but will have the experienced duo of Abdoulai Sissoko and Godswill Donio in their starting lineup. Sissoko, who is fully recovered from a foot injury, will anchor the midfield, while Donio, who came off the bench in the previous game, will be looking to make an impact from the start. The game is set to be a challenging one against a strong Hapoel Jerusalem side that held onto most of their squad from last season.
