Olympiakos vs Maccabi Haifa Prediction

Competition: Champions League - Qualification
Date: 27th July 2022
Time: 21:00 UTC
Venue: Georgios Karaiskakis Stadium (Piraeus)

A rematch of the second round of Champions League qualification.
The first match ended without a winner, 1:1, and Olympiacos missed their chances to enter this game with a lead. However, Maccabi Haifa winger Dolev Haiza ensured that it would not be like that with a goal in the last minutes of the match and thus increased the chance for his team to advance to the next round. Olympiacos can be satisfied with this result because the Israeli team was the better and more dominant team for most of the match. The Greek team doesn't really have the quality that some had in previous years, but they are favorites in this match primarily because of their home field, which is known for the good atmosphere created by the fans of this club.

Betting Tips

The big problem for both teams is that they haven't started the competition in the domestic league yet, so they didn't have the chance to get into the competitive form before the clash that can determine their success in the upcoming season. As is known, the away goal rule no longer applies in UEFA competitions, so we expect a very open match with plenty of scoring chances. It is evident that neither team played well at the beginning of this season due to the lack of games, so some big mistakes in defense are not excluded. This might be a much more interesting game compared to the first match in Israel. Olympiacos is the favorite, but the guests are not without a chance either, so we think that over 2.5 goals might be the best tip from this match.
