Maccabi Tel-Aviv vs Pafos prediction
This match will take place at the neutral venue of the TSC Arena in Backa Topola in Serbia, due to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine meaning that Maccabi Tel-Aviv can not play at home.
The Israeli’s surprisingly lost manager Robbie Keane mid-way through last season to Ferencvaros, but they have managed to stay on course. Pafos are seeking to continue the improvement of Cypriot clubs in UEFA competition from last season.
The first-leg of this tie saw Pafos and Maccabi Tel-Aviv share a 1-1 draw at the Alphamega Stadium in a game in which Elad Madmon notched a 100th minute equaliser for the Israelis.
Maccabi Tel-Aviv do not have home advantage here and that may play even further into the hands of the reactive and counter-attacking Pafos as they meet in Serbia this week.
