Prediction: 1-0
Slovan Bratislava
Maccabi Haifa will be aiming to defend their slim lead in the tie with Slovan Bratislava when the two teams face each other at Sammy Ofer Stadium in the return leg. Maccabi proved their worth in the first leg, with key attacker Frantzdy Pierrot once again getting his name on the scoresheet and, no doubt, the Haiti international is going to pose a big threat for Slovan defenders in Tuesday’s clash. With no fresh injury worries to report, Messay Dego is unlikely to make changes to the team that won the first leg. Defender Pierre Cornud is one yellow card away from suspension.
The Slovaks, on the other hand, have no other option but to adopt an attack-minded approach in the decider. Since the visitors are likely to go all guns blazing at Maccabi, we predict that the Israelis are going to seal the victory on the break. First-choice centre-forward Malik Abubakari returns to Slovan’s starting XI after he was rested in a 2-1 win over Skalica.
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.
