Maccabi Haifa Team News

As we mentioned in previous analyses of this club’s matches, Maccabi achieved historic success last season by placing in the Champions League group stage. Now they are one step away from repeating that result, given that they have reached the Playoffs, where they will face Young Boys.

Maccabi started the qualifications in the first round, in which they met with Hamrun. Without significant problems, they achieved two victories, 4:0 and 2:1. Their opponent in the second phase was Sheriff Tiraspol. One gets the impression that Haifa had the most challenging task against them, given that they eliminated the Moldovan representative only after extra time.

In the previous round, Maccabi met with Slovan from Bratislava. Like in the double match with Hamrun, they won easily in both duels, 2:1 and 3:1, and deservedly qualified for the Playoff phase of the Champions League.

If we add to these results the fact that Maccabi defeated Petah Tikva 2:0 away in the first round of the national championship, it is clear that the team from Haifa is in great shape before the duel against the team from Switzerland.

Young Boys Team News

Given the high coefficient of the Swiss Football Association in UEFA competitions, based on the results of clubs in Europe in the previous five years, Young Boys start this year’s Champions League qualification in the Playoff round, which automatically secures them the group stage of the Europa League.

In the preparatory period, Young Boys played seven friendly matches, in which they recorded two draws, with five victories, of which the triumph against Hertha 4:2 and Thun 4:0 in the last game before the start of the new season should be highlighted.

Although Young Boys is also undefeated in the national championship, the results could be better, considering that they recorded two wins and two draws in the first four rounds and are in third place, with two points less than the first-placed Zurich.

Young Boys used the previous weekend to rest key players for the duel with Maccabi, considering that they were playing a match in the 1/32 finals of the National Cup in which the coach gave a chance to the “reserve” players.

Maccabi Haifa vs Young Boys Prediction

Given that both teams are known for their offensive play, we expect the same approach from the teams in this match as well. Maccabi will want to take home advantage, while Young Boys are a team that doesn’t defend, no matter who the opponent is. For these reasons, we expect a game with many goals, more precisely, with at least one goal in both halves.

Prediction: Goal in both halves – Yes
