Prediction: 2-1
Celje
Maccabi Tel Aviv will look to move one step closer to the Conference League group stages when they take on Celje at their Bloomfield Stadium. The Cypriotes are high on confidence following a splendid 5-1 win over Sakhnin and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be former PSV forward Eran Zahavi, who scored the winner against AEK Larnaca in the previous qualifying round.
Celje, on the other hand, have been performing above expectations in the Conference League qualifiers, with the team beating the likes of Vitoria Guimaraes and Neman in the process. Celje are eyeing their seventh consecutive win in all competitions, but home win should be considered as the Israelis have turned their Bloomfield Stadium into a real fortress. To make things even worse for the Slovenian outfit, midfielder Luka Bobicanec is banned for the match.
Highlighted Team (Maccabi Tel Aviv):
Maccabi Tel Aviv are the oldest and probably the biggest clubs in Israel. The club was founded in 1906 and they have been playing an important role in the Israeli League ever since. In 2015 Maccabi won their 21st trophy in the national championship and the same season they clinched their 23rd Israeli Cup title.
The club’s fiercest rivals are Hapoel Tel-Aviv and they welcome their opponents at Netanya Stadium. The capacity of the venue is 13 610. The likes of Beitar Jerusalem Hapoel Be’er Sheva and Maccabi Haifa are considered Maccabi Tel Aviv’s bitter rivals as well. In 1969 the club won the AFC Champions League and they repeated the success two years later, beating Aliyat Al-Shorta in the final.
The likes of Jordi Cruyff, Paulo Sousa, Rade Prica, Moanes Dabour and Vincent Enyeama are the high-profile footballers who were part of the team in the past. The colour of Maccabi’s home kit is yellow and blue.
