LiontipsMaccabi Haifa vs PSG. Prediction and Betting Tips for UEFA Champions League 2022–23 (September 14, 2022).
Command Analysis
Maccabi Haifa endured a very difficult qualification campaign. To reach the group stage, the Israeli side overcame Olympiacos, Apollon, and Crvena Zvezda. The Greens ended up in Group H with Benfica, PSG, and Juventus - an extremely tough group, in which Maccabi Haifa are the clear outsiders.
Despite their best efforts, Barak Bakhar's men couldn't withhold Benfica's onslaught and lost with a score of 0:2. After a trip to Portugal, Maccabi Haifa recorded a confident 3:1 victory over Nes Tziona in the Israeli Premier League, where they currently top the standings.
PSG started the new season under the leadership of Christophe Galtier, who replaced Mauricio Pochettino as head coach. Galtier's main objective is to win the Champions League - something that the French club is yet to achieve. In their first Champions League game, Paris Saint-Germain celebrated success over Juventus (2:1).
The Parisians were off to a solid start in Ligue 1. In the first seven rounds, the team recorded six victories and drew against Monaco (1:1) at home. Last weekend, PSG beat Brest (1:0). PSG are the current leaders with 19 points to their name.

Tip and bets
Maccabi Haifa had few options in the first game - they sat on defense and tried to withhold Benfica's attacks. This didn't work against the Portuguese team and is even less likely to work agaisnt PSG, who have a better team and more experience in the Champions League. We predict a comfortable victory for the French side.
Our prediction – Asian handicap (-2.5) to PSG
PSG will strive to win by a large margin. Both Benfica and Juventus can create problems for Paris, so they need to score as much as they can against Maccabi in order to qualify from the top line. Considering PSG's superior quality and possibly the strongest attacking line in Europe, we believe they will succeed.
Second wager - PSG to win by 3 goals
