Prediction: 2-0
FK Panevezys
Maccabi Tel Aviv will be aiming to defend their one-goal lead in the Europa League tie with FK Panevezys when the two sides take on each other at Haladas Sportkomplexum in the second leg. Maccabi showcased their worth in the first leg and they are seen as hot favourites to win Thursday’s encounter as well. Veteran forward Eran Zahavi should be recalled to the starting XI as the Yellows are with one foot in the playoffs.
The Lithuanians, on the other hand, will have a mountain to climb in the reverse fixture. Even though the game will be played in Hungary due to the political situation in Israel, we are tempted to put our money on Maccabi Tel Aviv as FK Panevezys are not regarded as good travellers. To make things even worse for the away team, midfielder Ernestas Veliulis has yet to recover from the injury he suffered in the first leg.
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.
