Prediction: 1-1
Dynamo Kyiv
TSC Arena (Backa Topola, Serbia) will host Thursday’s Europa League qualifier between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Dynamo Kyiv. The Israelis set up a meeting with Dynamo by beating Hamrun of Malta in the third qualifying round, but they will have a mountain to climb in the upcoming double-header. Ido Shahar should keep his place up front after scoring a brace in the last qualifying match, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Ukrainians, on the other hand, failed to impress in the Champions League qualifier against Pafos, which is probably the main reason why away win should not be considered. A close encounter is on the cards at TSC Arena (neutral location) and we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. Dynamo Kyiv forward Vladyslav Vanat should be cautious in the first leg as the 23-year-old is only one yellow card away from suspension.
Highlighted Team (Maccabi Tel Aviv):
Maccabi Tel Aviv are the oldest and probably the biggest clubs in Israel. The club was founded in 1906 and they have been playing an important role in the Israeli League ever since. In 2015 Maccabi won their 21st trophy in the national championship and the same season they clinched their 23rd Israeli Cup title.
The club’s fiercest rivals are Hapoel Tel-Aviv and they welcome their opponents at Netanya Stadium. The capacity of the venue is 13 610. The likes of Beitar Jerusalem Hapoel Be’er Sheva and Maccabi Haifa are considered Maccabi Tel Aviv’s bitter rivals as well. In 1969 the club won the AFC Champions League and they repeated the success two years later, beating Aliyat Al-Shorta in the final.
The likes of Jordi Cruyff, Paulo Sousa, Rade Prica, Moanes Dabour and Vincent Enyeama are the high-profile footballers who were part of the team in the past. The colour of Maccabi’s home kit is yellow and blue.
