MACCABI TEL AVIV VS SHAKHTAR DONETSK PREDICTION

A total of 11 points was enough to see Maccabi Tel Aviv through to the Europa League knockout stage as Group I runners-up and their reward is a clash with Shakhtar Donetsk in the round of 32. Maccabi know that this first leg will prove crucial to their hopes of advancing to the next round, having picked up two wins and a draw from their three home group games. However, Shakhtar proved themselves as a strong outfit in the Champions League this season, acquiring eight points in a group that contained the likes of Spanish giants Real Madrid. Whilst it wasn’t enough to qualify for the knockout stage, the Ukrainians will be hoping to make up for that with a deep run in the Europa League. Therefore, a close first leg is on the cards and it would be no surprise if the two teams cancelled each other out, ultimately leading to the match finishing level.
