Maccabi Tel Aviv (Isr) vs Salzburg (Aut) PREVIEW & PREDICTION 22/09/2020

On Tuesday, starting with 20:00, the match Maccabi Tel-Aviv – RB Salzburg will be played, within the play-off for the qualification in the Champions League groups.

Maccabi Tel-Aviv, without a goal in the previous 3 Champions League matches, will have an infinitely more difficult mission against the Austrians from RB Salzburg. So far, in the 3 matches played on the way to this phase of the competition, the Israeli team defeated Riga FC from Latvia (2-0), Suduva from Lithuania (3-0) and Dinamo Brest from Belarus (1- 0). Despite the victories, Maccabi was far from displaying a game that could cause problems for the Austrians, the opponents encountered being really weak. As proof, the last 2 matches in the Champions League were interspersed with 2 matches from the domestic championship, none with a victory for the Greek team Donis: 2-2 with Bnei Yehuda and 1-2 with Petach Tikva.

On the other hand, as we have become accustomed to in recent seasons, the “little sister” of RB Leipzig plays a special football, based primarily on the offensive game. In the last 3 official matches played, Salzburg have scored no less than 15 goals! With an average of 5 goals scored per game and with players clearly superior to the Israelis, it is hard to believe that the qualification economy could be called into question in the duel at “Bloomfield Stadium”. Thus, our predictions will be directed in this direction.

-RB Salzburg, 23 goals scored in the last 4 away games;
-Maccabi Tel-Aviv, 4 goals scored in the previous 3 matches;
-RB Salzburg, no failure in the official matches in March 2020.


PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1,79
