LiontipsMaccabi Tel Aviv vs Real Sociedad. Europa League match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Maccabi had an unsuccessful start in the Europa League – not a single point in two rounds. Another defeat will seriously complicate the task of reaching the playoffs. In the first round, Zarko Lazetic’s team suffered an unfortunate away defeat to Braga (1:2), although they were leading until the 88th minute. Then, without much of a chance, they lost to Danish Midtjylland (0:2). In the national championship, Maccabi confidently leads the standings, having earned 19 points in seven rounds, and has not lost a single time.

Revivo, Lajos and Yehezkel will not play today due to injuries. Sissoko is suspended.

6.30Tip and bets
In the upcoming match, when choosing bets, we recommend starting from the Basques and their reliable actions in defense. Real Sociedad has played 12 official matches in all tournaments since the beginning of the season, and only in four of them more than two goals were scored. Today, the opponents have a very important game in terms of further prospects for reaching the playoffs, and it is unlikely that anyone will take an unjustified risk.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.83
Bet on the outcome
Maccabi is not impressive on the European stage, the match against the well-organized Midtjylland in the last round clearly demonstrated this. Real Sociedad is gradually improving and today, thanks to reliable actions in defense, above all, they are capable of achieving success.
The second bet is Real Sociedad to win with odds of 1.76
Bet on the first half
Maccabi has been playing well in the opening periods and has not lost in this period in four of its five previous matches. We expect the nominal hosts to hold off their opponents in the first half of the game today.
Prediction - Maccabi will not lose in the first half with odds of 1.59
