Prediction: 1-2
Benfica
Maccabi Haifa will look to make amends for a massive 7-2 loss to PSG when they face Benfica in the last group game. The Greens did well to beat Juventus in their last home game, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Wednesday’s clash. Midfielder Mohammed Abu Fani, who scored as a substitute in a 3-1 win over Ashod, is pushing for a start, as well as key player Tjarron Chery. All Haziza, Jaber, Podgoreanu, and Sundgren should miss out with injuries for the home team.
The Eagles, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in all competitions, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Given Maccabi Haifa’s attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Both Julian Draxler and Morato are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
Highlighted Player (Alex Grimaldo):
Alex Grimaldo is a Spanish footballer who plays for Portuguese side Benfica as a left back. Born in Valencia on September 20, 1995, Grimaldo started his youth career at his hometown club FC Valencia, but in 2008 Barcelona scouts brought him to Camp Nou.
The 171-cm-tall footballer scored six goals in 92 appearances for Barca B before joining Primeira Liga club Benfica in the winter of 2015. Alex Grimaldo made his debut with the Eagles on January 26, 2016 in a 6-1 win at Moreirense in the Taca da Liga. Speaking of his Primeira Liga debut, Grimaldo played his first league game for Benfica on February 29, 2016 in a 2-0 win over Uniao Leiria.
The Benfica defender has two caps for Spain U21 team, but he has yet to make his debut with the senior team. His main position is left-back, but he is capable of producing fine performances as a left winger as well.
