Maccabi Haifa can play without too much pressure. The Green Monkeys are strong by the standards of Israeli football. In European competition, they are not hopeless, but they are used to appreciating even small successes. For this team, reaching the main, group stage, especially the Champions League, can already be considered a triumph. Moreover, in order to do this, the wards of Barak Bahar went through such serious opponents as Olympiacos, Apollon and Crvena Zvezda in the qualification.

Juventus failed to return to the top level by reuniting with Allegri. "Old Signora" with Max dominated Italian football. But in Turin they dreamed of European Cup recognition, which led to the experiments of the "name" Sarri and Pirlo. As a result, they had to call back an experienced mentor - but this did little. Especially in the Champions League. Last season, the Italians left the group with Zenit and Malmö, but already lost to Villarreal in the 1/8 finals, losing to that at home 0-3. This autumn, the Bianconeri got a more difficult company in the quartet. And they lost in both fights with direct competitors, PSG and Benfica, with an identical score of 1-2. This made it necessary to take the maximum from Maccabi. At home, due to the assists of Di Maria, it turned out to get quite comfortable, according to the final score, the result. But there were enough questions regarding performance, even from Allegri himself.
In 2009, Maccabi already played with Juventus in the group stage of the Champions League. Then Juventus were able to win both meetings with an identical boring score of 1-0. Maccabi will try to show themselves at home, but still they are of lower class. We recommend betting on Juventus to win.
Prediction for the match: Juventus to win.
