Maccabi Haifa vs Sheriff Tiraspol Prediction & Betting Tips (2 August)

This Wednesday, August 2, 2023, head to the Sammy Ofer Stadium located in Haifa, Israel, to see an interesting matchup between Israelis Maccabi Haifa FC and Moldovans Sheriff Tiraspol in the second leg of the quarter-finals in qualifying at the Champion's League. The match is scheduled for 7 p.m. and will be led by Polish referee Mr Sylwestrzak, noting that the current advantage is in favor of the Sheriff who won the first leg 1-0. Maccabi after winning their first three oppositions in official competitions this season have just fallen in Moldova in the first leg.

Indeed, in the previous round, the Israelis overcame the Maltese Hamrun quite easily with a score of 6 to 1 in the aggregate of the 2 games, then they continued in the Super Cup against Beitar Jerusalem 3-1 before bowing out last Wednesday. Facing them, the Moldovan visitors were able to reverse the trend after a 1-0 loss in Romania against Farul Constanta in the first round of the 1/8th finals in qualification for the C1, winning the return 3 goals to 0 after extension. They then confirmed against Maccabi at home in a game that was dominated in terms of chances and possession in favor of Haifa.

Announced uncertain in the first leg, the Israeli international, Haiziza (2 goals, 2 assists last season) was finally well on the score sheet and even on the meadow for 87 minutes. Just arrived from Nuremberg via a transfer, Shuranov did not leave the bench in the first leg but will a priori be present again on the score sheet. Eventually, the entire squad will probably be available for this poster which is practically the game of the year for Maccabi. However, during the transfer window, the club lost the top scorer of the elite last season in the person of Omer Atzili (22 goals, 12 assists) who left to join Al-Ain (UAE) and the Israeli international, Mohammed Abu Fani (4 pawns, 3 assists last year), sent via a transfer from Ferencvaros (Hungary). For the rest, the main individual threats are still at the club such as the Senegalese international, Seck (3 goals last year), Saba (7 achievements, 4 cakes), Pierrot (ex-Guingamp, 9 goals, 4 caviars) or even Din David (10 goals) and the imperial Tjarron Chery (10 achievements, 7 offerings). Recall that the reigning Israeli champion lost his Congolese international defender Dylan Batubinsika, who left for Saint-Etienne.

On the Moldovan side, the top scorer in the championship last year, Rasheed Akanbi (8 goals in 18 appearances) missed to the first leg and could be called once again tonight like the important Atiemwen (3 pawns in 14 appearances last year) or Gaby Kiki (3 pawns) also absent during the first round against Farul Constanta. The transfer window did not have a good effect on this formation since Steve Ambri (4 goals in 8 games played last year) freely joined Nîmes while Diop (4 goals) joined Troyes via a transfer without forgetting the departure of Felipe Vizeu (2 goals in 6 apps) on the side of Criciuma or the Nigerian, Ismaila (end of loan). Injured, Ouattara will probably be OUT tonight. In terms of recruitment, the club has taken care of Tovar (Deportivo Pasto), recruited to become a manager as central defender, Didier Bueno (Medellin) who should also play a major role in the group or Vinicius Paiva ( Vasco da Gama).
