Hapoel Ramat-Gan seeks to control the game through high pressing and quick transitions using a 3-4-3. This formation is built to play with aggression and high intensity to win the ball back high up the pitch. The lineup aims to squeeze the space in the opponent's half and use wide players to stretch the defence.

Raif stays between the posts to organize the defensive unit. A back three provides a solid foundation with Silva acting as the central defender to command the area. Gonçalves operates as the right centre-back to cover the wide areas, while Ibrahim plays as the left centre-back. This unit is designed to hold the line and defend zonally, ensuring they remain compact when the opposition tries to play through the lines.

The midfield operates with a double pivot to protect the back three. Mijailovic sits in the deeper role to shield the defence and intercept passes. Naor or Plakushchenko provides balance on the left side of the midfield to connect the defence and attack. Oli or Boniface moves into the left half-space as an attacking midfielder to drive forward with the ball and create chances. Semel plays in the right half-space to provide additional numbers in the final third and make late runs into the box.

Hapoel Ramat-Gan utilizes three attackers to pin the last defender. Asanka plays on the left wing to provide width and look to cut inside to threaten the goal. On the right, Campos or Hozez works to isolate the opponent in one on one situations. Noubissi or Campos leads the line as a central striker to hold up the ball and find the feet of the attacking midfielders. The forwards press from the front to force a long ball from the opposition, allowing the defenders to win the second ball.

This formation offers the ability to press high in coordinated waves. By using the half-space players like Semel and Oli, the team can create numerical superiority in midfield during the build up. The wide players and the wing backs, though not explicitly listed as traditional wing backs, allow for wide overloads to pull the opposition defense apart and create space for runs in behind.

The 3-4-3 formation provides Hapoel Ramat-Gan with a high pressing identity that can overwhelm opponents. It is best suited for games against teams that struggle to play out from the back under heavy pressure.
