Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Sabah Baku will be looking to defend their three-goal lead in the tie with Maccabi Haifa when the two teams face each other at Bank Respublika Arena on Thursday. Against all odds, Sabah Baku defeated Maccabi Haifa 3-0 in the first leg, but it has to be noted that the match was played on a neutral location (Kisvarda, Hungary). Anyhow, the Azeri are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in the return leg. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of the visit of Maccabi.
The Greens, on the other hand, are hungry for revenge and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Sabah Baku in the reverse fixture. As Krunoslav Rendulic’s men looked sharp in front of goal in the first leg, we are tempted to bet on both teams to score. As always, a man to watch in the away team will be Haiti striker Frantzdy Pierrot, who is eager to find his goal-scoring touch.
