Maccabi Tel Aviv are on the verge of reaching the Europa League third qualifying round when they welcome Sheriff Tiraspol in the second leg after a stunning 5-0 victory in Moldova. The Israeli side produced a dominant display in the first meeting, with Sayed Abu Farkhi stealing the headlines by scoring a brace. Maccabi were not in action at the weekend, meaning fatigue should not be an issue as they prepare for another European test. The hosts have been particularly impressive in attack, averaging 2.50 goals per game across their last ten matches and scoring in every one of those outings. With such a commanding advantage, some rotation could be expected, but Maccabi remain clear favourites.
Sheriff Tiraspol face an almost impossible mission after a disastrous first-leg performance exposed their defensive weaknesses. The Moldovan champions struggled to contain Maccabi’s attacking movement and now need a miracle comeback away from home. Despite their European struggles, Sheriff have been strong domestically, winning six of their last ten matches and keeping seven clean sheets during that period. However, they have scored only 1.00 goal per away match on average, highlighting their difficulties in creating chances on the road. Rotation is expected, with both Fratea and Fomba pushing for starting roles as Sheriff look to restore some pride.
Maccabi dominated the first leg and should have enough quality to secure another victory. Therefore, Home Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Maccabi Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (the first meeting produced five goals, and Maccabi's attacking strength could lead to another open game).
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 30 July 2026 at 17:00.
