Prediction: 2-2
Maccabi Tel Aviv
Stadion Stozice will host Thursday’s Conference League game between Celje and Maccabi Tel Aviv, the two teams who are vying for a spot in the group stages. Maccabi Tel Aviv won the first leg 4-1 and we are positive that they will adopt a cautious approach this time out. The opposition back-line should have former PSV striker Eran Zahavi, who opened the scoring in Israel, while there are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
Celje, meanwhile, regained a much-needed confidence thanks to a 4-2 win over Olimpija Ljubljana and given their attacking potential, we predict that both sides are going to find the net in the second leg. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be talented forward Aljosa Matko, who scored a brace in the Slovenian Prva Liga derby at the weekend.
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.
