Prediction: 3-1
Hamrun
After beating Hamrun 2-1 in Malta, Maccabi Tel Aviv will look to seal their spot in the Europa League playoffs when the two teams face each other at TSC Arena (neutral location) on Thursday. Maccabi are seen as hot favourites to win the second leg, but boss Zarko Lazetic must warn his men against complacency. Bearing any fresh injury worries, the Serbian tactician is unlikely to make changes to the team that won the first leg.
Hamrun, on the other hand, face an uphill task in the reverse fixture as they need a big win to progress to the Europa League playoffs. Anyhow, David faces Goliath in Backa Topola and anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Hamrun defender Vincenzo Polito should be very cautious in Thursday’s clash as the 26-year-old is only one yellow card away from suspension.
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.
