Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Porto: Europa League Match Prediction
Maccabi Tel Aviv and Porto are outside the playoff zone, but still have a chance to jump on the last train. Who will win the upcoming confrontation, which will take place on January 30? The answer is in our betting tip. Which event to choose for a bet?
Command Analysis
Maccabi Tel Aviv
IsraelCurrent form
Maccabi Tel Aviv has a theoretical chance of making it to the playoffs, but it seems unrealistic to make it happen, because in addition to having to win by a large margin, they also have to hope that at least five teams above them lose by a large margin.
After seven matches played, they managed to score only six points (two wins and five losses). If there had been at least one draw, the chances of going further would have been much greater, but, alas, they failed to do so. Nevertheless, they managed to surprise in the Europa League. At the end of November, they played away against Besiktas, and then they managed to beat the Turkish team with a score of 3:1.
Disqualifications and injuries
Melika and Yehezgel are injured and will not take to the field.
Interesting trends for betting
- Maccabi Tel Aviv have scored in their last seven home games
- The hosts have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six games
Estimated line-up: Mishpati - Asante, Stojic, Nahmias, Revivo - van Overeem, Sissoko, Peretz - Davida, Turgeman, Laious.
FC Porto
PortugalCurrent form
Porto has had a terrible start to 2025. The team has suffered four defeats in a row and drawn one in all tournaments (Portugal Championship and Cup, as well as the Europa League). Only in the last match in the national championship did they manage to draw at home with Santa Clara (1:1). The upcoming match means everything for the Portuguese in the European Cups. If they manage to win, then there is a high probability of getting into the knockout matches. With a draw, you can also count on success, but in this case you need to hope that Besiktas, Ferencvaros and Fenerbahce lose, and do so not by the minimum score.
Disqualifications and injuries
Marcano, Wendell, Fernandes and Grujic are all injured, while Samu will be out due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Interesting trends for betting
- Porto have conceded goals in five games in a row
- In three of the last five meetings, the visitors failed to even score
Estimated line-up: Costa - Mario, Perez, Djalo, Moura - Nico, Vieira, Varela - Pepe, Omorodion, Galeno.

1.78Tip and bets
Maccabi has absolutely nothing to lose, so it is unlikely that this team will sit in its penalty area for long. On its temporary field, the Israeli club failed to hit the opponent goal in only one of the last ten matches, and the Portuguese scored in eight of the last ten away matches. All this leads to the idea that both teams will be able to score.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.84
Bet on total
In the last match against Santa Clara, Porto clearly did not give it their all. In that match, the visitors of the upcoming match were not able to score even two penalties. We believe that in the upcoming match, the Portuguese will play more reliably on all fronts and achieve their first victory in 2025, thanks to which they will reach the playoffs, but do not expect the Portuguese to win the match confidently. They are not in that form at the moment.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (+1.5) on Maccabi. This bet is offered for 1.75
Bet on corners
Judging by our description, it is clear that the game is unlikely to be a closed one. Most likely, the match will be played on opposite sails, and thanks to this, it will be possible to make a decent number of serves from the corner flag.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners. This bet is offered for 1.57
