Maccabi Tel Aviv take on the visitors FC Astana at “Netanya Stadium” in the matchday four of the UEFA Europa League Group stage. The game will be played in Netanya on Thursday, November 2nd.
Maccabi Tel Aviv won their two back-to-back clashes of the season: 3:0 against Yehuda and 5:2 vs. H. Akko. In Israel’s Ligat ha’Al Maccabi Tel Aviv are currently sitting on the third place in the standings with 17 points earned after nine rounds played. However, the Israelites are doing not so well in the UEFA Europa League, the club settles on the last position in Group A table with only one single point gained and 0-4 goal difference after three encounters played. In the latest matchday of the UEFA Europa League Maccabi Tel Aviv lost 0:4 to FC Astana. Concerning the team’s results in front of its fans, the Israelites recorded eight triumphs, four draws and single defeat in 13 home battles.

In their turn, FC Astana have certain difficulties in the Kazakhstan’s Premier League, having been broken 0:2 by Kairat Almaty in the latest round. With 32 gameweeks behind, FC Astana occupy the first place in the elite division standings with 76 taken points and 72-21 goal difference being one point ahead of Kairat Almaty. In the UEFA Europa League the Kazakh club picked up four points with 6-4 goal difference sitting on the third position in Group A keeping nice chances for getting two first places. The side from Astana conducted 21 clashes on the road in this season resulting in 11 wins, three draws and seven losses.
Maccabi Tel Aviv were sensationally thrashed by the Kazakh team on the road in the previous round. Both rivals are approximately equal in class, therefore, I don’t believe that there will be many goals scored in the forthcoming fight.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
