LiontipsMaccabi Haifa vs Benfica. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022-23 UEFA Champions League (November 2, 2022).
Command Analysis
Maccabi Haifa ended up in the same group as Benfica, PSG, and Juventus and were the clear outsiders from the very start of the competition. Despite their best efforts, the Greens couldn't earn points in the first three games, but we should acknowledge, that in each game, Maccabi put up a good fight.
Barak Bakhar's men created a sensation in the fourth match, when they beat Juventus (2:0) at home. After that, Maccabi got thrashed by PSG (2:7). The team has a chance to qualify for the Europa League playoffs, but they must get a better result than Juventus in their last match.
Benfica weren't considered favourites in Group H, yet they have exceeded all expectations. The team is undefeated after five games, level on points with PSG. After a (2:0) victory over Maccabi, the Eagles beat Juventus (2:1).
Roger Schmidt's side got two draws against PSG (1:1) and secured their ticket to the playoffs by beating Juventus (4:3) last week. They even have a chance of finishing in first place if they can deliver a better result than the French team.
