Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Salzburg Betting Tips and Predictions
There's action aplenty in the UCL qualification stage on Tuesday with four games scheduled to feature. Maccabi Tel Aviv welcome RB Salzburg to Tel Aviv as they do battle in this first leg UCL playoff round tie. With the aim being to make it to the UCL group stage, which side picks up the first win in this double-header?
Two League Champions go head-to-head
The Israeli Champions did well to overcome Dynamo Brest in the 3rd round in which they ran out 1-0 winners. A 50th-minute penalty from Dan Biton was the main talking point of the game as they booked themselves a place in the next round. However, since the turn of the season, Maccabi has failed to register a win in the Israeli top-flight after playing two games. Although we fully expect them to bounce back, we're left to wonder the confidence level of the squad as they head into the game.
Unlike their opponents, the Austrian Champions did what they do best in their opening fixture. They came out on top against Wolfsberger courtesy of a 3-1 scoreline. As far as their recent performance goes, both home and away, they have a total of 23 goals in their last ten matches - 6 of these matches have been wins for them. Given this, confidence is expected to be brimming in the Salzburg camp

Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Salzburg Prediction: 1-2
Maccabi Tel Aviv hasn't really been at their best since the start of the new campaign. Their poor form was evident in that 3rd round tie in which they bested Dynamo Brest only by fine margins. Unlike their opponents, the Austrian champions are heading into this game in fine form taking into account their recent results. As a result, we expect them to come out on top in this first leg tie.
