Match Overview
The first round of the UEFA Champions League qualification competition will see a fascinating game between Hamrun Spartans and Maccabi Haifa at the MFA Centenary Stadium on Tuesday. This will be an exciting clash given how well the two teams are matched with each other. Haifa, however, will have an edge for sure.
Key Highlights
This is the first occasion on which these two teams are playing against each other. This means that they do not know a lot about each other's strengths or weaknesses. Maccabi Haifa will feel that they need to assert their dominance early on in this game while the Spartans will be more bothered with tightening their defensive lines.
Injury Report
Neither of these two teams have a lot of injuries in their squad. This means that they can field their best possible starting lineup on Tuesday, which will, quite naturally, give them a big boost.
Prediction
While Maccabi Haifa come into this game having a big edge over the Spartans owing to their greater attacking strength, the latter will feel that they can bank upon their home support on Tuesday. Since they are both so well-matched with each other, we expect BTTS (both teams to score).
