LiontipsMaccabi Tel Aviv - RFS. Forecast and bets on the Israeli championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Last season was a success for Maccabi - the Tel Aviv footballers regained the title of Israeli champion. Repeating this achievement will not be easy, because the team currently occupies only second place in the standings and is three points behind the leader. In the last matches, the hosts were unable to beat Hapoel Hadera (2:2) and their teammates from Haifa (1:1). The start of the main stage of the Europa League was depressing - the Israelis lost to Midtjylland (0:2), Real Sociedad (1:2) and Ajax (0:5). Only in the last round did the nominal hosts manage to earn their first points, beating Turkish Besiktas on the road (3:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Only young goalkeeper Ofek Melik will not play due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not lost in the last five matches.
- The club has lost three of four matches in the Europa League
Estimated lineup: Mishpati - Lemkin, Stoich, Shlomo, Yehezkel - van Overeem, Kanichovsky - David, Peretz, Wesley Patati - Turgeman
Current form
Participation in the main stage of the Europa League is already considered a great success for a club like RFS. The Latvian champion managed to defeat the powerful Cypriot APOEL in the final qualifying round. It is not so easy to achieve successful results in the main stage - in five rounds the club managed to earn only two points.
After a heavy defeat to FCSB (1:4) in the first round, the visitors did not give up and in the next match they defended a draw with the Turkish champion, Galatasaray (2:2). They managed to score another point on November 8 with Anderlecht (1:1) - they managed to equalize only in the sixth minute of stoppage time. At the same time, they could not avoid defeats in matches with Eintracht (0:1) and PAOK (0:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to various injuries, Ismael Diomand, Emerson Deocleciano, Alfusaini Yatta and Martin Kigur dropped out of the squad.
Interesting trends for betting
- The team has not yet won a single victory in the Europa League
- The club suffered two defeats in a row
Estimated lineup: Ondoa - Balodis, Prenga, Njie - Odisharia, Zelenkov, Panic, Markhiyev, Savalnieks - Kouadio, Ikauniek

2.37Tip and bets
The nominal hosts started the tournament with three defeats in a row, but managed to unexpectedly beat Besiktas away and now have an excellent chance of a second victory in a row, given the level of the opponent. There is nothing to reproach RFS for - for their level the team is performing well, but still the club resources do not allow it to compete with most teams at the level of the Europa League. We believe that the Israeli team will prevail.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Maccabi for 1.90
Bet on total
The visitors will probably sit on the defensive in the hope of snagging another draw. The hosts will definitely attack, but you shouldn't count on a large number of goals from the Israeli club, because almost all of the goals of the Tel Aviv team were scored in just one match. It is unlikely that there will be two super-scoring matches in a row.
Our prediction is under 2.5 goals for 2.00
Bet on corners
Most likely, the hosts will have the initiative in this match, which will lead to an advantage in many areas, including corner kicks.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2.5) on corners at Maccabi for 1.80
