FCSB vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction & Betting Tips (23 July)

The reigning Romanian champion absolutely did not laugh in the first round by inflicting two corrections on Virtus Acquaviva 1-7 in the first leg and 4-0 in the return, making 11-1 in total for the two matches. It is clear that FCSB hopes to do well in these Champions qualifiers. Note that the Romanian Superliga has resumed its rights, and last weekend, the evening locals will have tried to officially launch their season in the elite on the lawn of the promoted Unirea Slobozia. During the first day, they had to settle for a draw for the reception of U.Cluj 1-1. Opposite, we find the formation of Maccabi Tel Aviv which has just launched its season with a trophy with a coronation in the Israeli Super Cup against Petach Tikva 2-0.

This success simply validated a very good period of preparation punctuated by three friendly matches without conceding the slightest defeat including two victories against the Poles of Ruch initially 0-5 and a less striking success against the Cypriots of Omonia 2 -0. In the meantime, the reigning Israeli champion was caught by Rakow, still in a friendly 0-0. After two seasons dominated by Maccabi Haifa, the Tel Aviv yellows regained their championship crown for the 25th time in their history. The last national championship title dated before the Covid-19 pandemic 2019-20.

The important midfielder Popescu (2 goals, 3 assists last season in the league) is still on the flank and will probably be missing from Pantea's image (20 appearances in the elite last year) , also injured. Authors of 3 goals each in the first two matches of these qualifiers, Olaru and Miculescu (5 goals in the league last season) will be in the mix as will the Frenchman Malcolm Edjouma (ex-Concarneau, Lorient, Red Star and Chambly) author of 2 goals during the 1st round, the same for Daniel Popa (11 pawns, 5 assists in the league last season). On the other hand, note that the team's top scorer last season in the league, Zahavi (20 goals, 7 assists) is still present at the club, as is the starting midfielder Peretz (10 goals, 2 assists) and Kanichowsky (9 achievements, 6 pancakes) and Israeli international Dan Bilton (4 achievements, 7 dice assists).

On the other hand, note the possible absences of the Angolan international Milson (7 pawns, 8 offerings in the championship last season) and Turgeman (9 goals) both absent in the Supercup. The last city left to play the Paris Games with the Israeli selection.
