Maccabi Haifa will look to move one step closer to booking their place in the Champions League second qualifying round when they take on Hamrun at Centenary Stadium. Maccabi Haifa were producing fine displays in the elite competition last term and they are now on a quest to, at least, repeat the success. The good news for the visitors is that Haiti forward Frantzdy Pierrot is back from international duty.
Hamrun, on the other hand, won the Maltese championship in style, with the team finishing the season 19 points clear of second-place Birkirkara. Luciano Zauri’s men, though, face an uphill task in Tuesday’s clash and we do not believe that they are capable of claiming a major scalp in the Champions League first qualifying round. It has to be noted that the two teams meet for the first time ever in European competitions.
