Maccabi Haifa vs Benfica – In a Champions League group that includes teams like PSG and Juventus, Benfica is in such excellent form that they are vying for the top slot. Maccabi Haifa, who are positioned last in the group table, are unquestionably the worst of the bunch.
Haifa still has a chance to qualify for the Europa League, though. They are tied for third place with Juventus on points, and their final group stage matchup is against league leaders PSG.
In this decisive game, Juve are likely to lose, giving Maccabi the chance to compete for a Europa League spot. But their plight can also result from their utter desperation.
They are up against a team that has made PSG and Juve sweat in the past. With the exception of their two draws against PSG, Benfica has not only gone undefeated so far this season but also has a 100% winning record overall.
And this includes both their home and away victories over Juventus, the reigning Italian champion. Along with the Parisians, they boast the group’s top defence, and they also have the second-best offensive.
They are also having a great season in their own league, and most importantly, the Portuguese club easily defeated the other team in the reverse matchup. It appears that Benfica will triumph on Wednesday at the Sammy Ofer Stadium.
Maccabi Haifa vs Benfica – Betting Analysis
Benfica defeated the other team 2-0 in their lone meeting, and Benfica is now on a long unbeaten record that dates back to May in addition to their current winning streak. This setback occurred against Porto, an old rival.
They continually scored a tonne of goals, and in the rematch, they even defeated this opponent by a score of 1-0. However, Maccabi lost their most recent game after giving up seven goals. They’ve been coping with defensive problems for a while now.
They haven’t been able to put up strong performances even in front of their own fans, so it’s quite unlikely that they will succeed this Wednesday even under pressure.
