Maccabi Haifa take on the visitors Crvena Zvezda in the first leg of UEFA Champions League qualification finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 17th at Sammy Ofer Stadium (Haifa).
Maccabi Haifa are fixed in the status of the strongest club in Israel now. The Greens from Carmel are quite a successful club, despite how high the competition in the country. In total, they were the champion 14 times, and, most importantly, having won the trophy in 2021, they were able to maintain this position in the next draw. This allowed us to start again in the Champions League qualification. And there already managed to pass 2 opponents. At first, Barak Bahar's wards surprised everyone by managing to knock out Olympiacos. Moreover, the ambitious Greeks were defeated 4-0 on the road after 1-1 at home. But with the Cypriot Apollo there were no problems at all: 6-0 in 2 legs.

Crvena Zvezda is the No. 1 force in Serbian football. The Stars have always competed, and will continue to argue, with Partizan. So it turns out from year to year in recent times churning out victories. Even if sometimes, like last season, the distance turned out to be minimal. The wards of Dejan Stankovic also manage to show themselves well in the international arena. However, a year ago, the Sheriff stopped them. Now they had to start with another representative of the post-Soviet region - Pyunik. And there was not even a chance for intrigue with the Armenians. In fact, everything was decided already in Belgrade, where the hosts won 5-0. But even in Yerevan, Red Star Zvezda was able to add 2 more unanswered goals against the hosts.
Crvena zvezda regularly, and sometimes quite often, play in European competition. But you can't say the same about Maccabi. So in Haifa, this couple will hold their first head-to-head. Maccabi (Haifa) will try to succeed at home. But Crvena Zvezda also starts the season in good shape. It is worth using a bet that this pair will score "over 2.0 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.0 scored goals.
