Ajax Maccabi Tel Aviv betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 34^th position, no points won yet, after 3 losses. In the penultimate round, they have lost a home match against FC Midtjylland by (0‑2). In the last round, they have lost a home match against Real Sociedad by (1‑2). In their last match, for the Ligat ha'Al, they got a home loss against Ironi Kiryat Shmona by (0‑1). In the last 10 away matches Maccabi TA has won 6, tied 2 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 6 of the last 7 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 12 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 11 of those 12 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 9 of them. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 8 of their 19 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Maccabi Tel Aviv go into this game on the back of a 0-1 defeat against Kiryat Shmona in the Israeli league. Last time out in the Europa League, the visitors lost 1-2 to Real Sociedad. The away side will adopt a 4-3-3 tactical formation, focusing on taking advantage of counter-attacks. The main attacking elements will be Weslley Patati, Ido Shahar and Dor Tugeman. When they go on the offensive, the team tends to channel their attack down the right flank, making it easier to take advantage of the depth provided by full-back Stav Lemkin. Osher Davida is out through injury, as are Roy Revivo and Ofek Melika, who are both suffering from fitness problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Roei Mishpati, Raz Shlomo, Sagiv Jehezkel, Tyrese Asante, Nemanja Stojić, Dor Peretz, Ido Shahar, Gabi Kanikovski, I. Sissokho, Dor Turgeman, Elad Madmon.
Coach: A. Karanka de la Hoz.
