Prediction: 3-0
Hamrun
Following a 4-0 win in Malta, Maccabi Haifa will look to seal their spot in the Champions League second qualifying round when they take on Hamrun on Tuesday. The Israelis proved their worth in the first leg, but they surely want to give fans yet another reason to celebrate. A man to watch in the home team will be Frantzdy Pierrot, who represented Haiti at the 2023 Gold Cup earlier this month.
The visitors, meanwhile, face yet another uphill task in the reverse fixture. Considering that Maccabi Haifa have turned their Sammy Ofer Stadium into a real fortress, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. As for the visiting side, both Nenov and Eder are pushing for a start after the duo came off the bench in the first leg. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Tjaronn Chery):
Tjaronn Chery is a pacey winger who is well known for his brilliant crosses. Chery impressed with Groningen in the 2014/2015 Eredivisie campaign and, as a result, QPR owners decided to sign him. The Dutch footballer was born in Hague on 4 June, 1988, but he has yet to make his debut for the Oranje.
Nonetheless, you should bear in mind that he was called up to the Netherlands squad in May, 2015. He used to play for the likes of Den Haag, Emmen, Roosendaal, Cambuur and Twente in the past, but no doubt, he was producing the best performances during his spell with Groningen.
Chery scored ten goals for Queens Park Rangers in the 2015/2016 Championship campaign and he was named Players’ Player of the Year. He is capable of playing on both wings, but he plays as an attacking midfielder as well. Tjaronn Chery has a deal with QPR which expires on 30 June, 2018. He is a left-footed player.
