TSC
Maccabi Tel Aviv take on TSC at Haladas Sportkomplexum (neutral location) in the Europa League playoffs, first leg. Maccabi set up a meeting with TSC by beating Panevezys of Lithuania in round 3 and they are seen as favourites to win Thursday’s clash as well. Defender Tyrese Asante is back from suspension, while forward Osher Davida returns to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in a 2-1 win over Sakhnin at the weekend.
Over the years TSC have established themselves as one of the best teams in Serbian Super Liga. However, the lack of experience in European competitions should prove to be a big problem for the visiting team in Thursday’s encounter. TSC suffered a 1-0 loss to newcomers OFK Beograd at the weekend, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. It has to be noted that TSC key defender joined Serbian powerhouse Crvena Zvezda earlier this summer.
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.
