Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Maccabi Haifa will be aiming to seal their place in the Conference League third qualifying round when they welcome Zhodino to their Varkert Stadium in the return leg. The two teams played out a 1-1 draw in the first leg, but the Israelis are seen as favourites to win Thursday’s encounter. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, both Khalaili and Stewart are in line for a recall to the starting XI.
Zhodino, on the other hand, defended well in the first leg, but it has to be noted that Maccabi Haifa failed to turn their dominance into victory. Maccabi are more of a team than Zhodino and seeing that Israeli fans will come in numbers to Hungary to support their favourites, home win should be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the Belarusian outfit.
