Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Midtjylland Prediction & Betting Tips (3 October)

Last season, Maccabi Tel Aviv obtained a new Israeli championship title, the 20th in its history, easily beating all the competition. The Yellows are also on track to retain their crown this year since they easily won their first 4 matches in the league before challenging Ironi Tiberias next Sunday. On the other hand, the Israelis were unable to resist SC Braga last Thursday for their entry into the competition despite opening the score. They also finished this meeting at 9 against 11.

On the other side of the median, FC Midtjylland did not come far from achieving a big blow last week by leading the score for a very long time against Hoffenheim before being joined in the last moments by the Germans 1-1. A small disappointment for the reigning Danish champions who also got off to a good start this year by collecting 21 points in 9 games and heading to the top of the standings. Held to a draw by Rangers 2-2 10 days ago, the Wolves will try to return to success against Viborg this weekend .

A priori, Maccabi Tel Aviv should approach this match without midfielder Shahar and defenders Revivo and Jehezkel who are in the infirmary. This team will also be deprived of full-back Asante and midfielder Kanikovski who were sent off in Braga last week and who will logically be suspended for this poster. Former Bordeaux player Issouf Sissokoh will be available. This should also be the case for young hopeful Turgeman who crashed twice in the championship this season. Last week, midfielder David opened the scoring from the penalty spot.

On the Danish side, defenders Gabriel, Juninho, Sorensen, Paulinho and Olsson as well as the attackers Buksa (3 goals in the league), Gue-Sung Cho (12 goals, 4 assists last season in the league) and Marrony is all missing at the moment, which makes for a pretty full list of absentees. Too close last week, the influential midfielder Sorensen (4 goals in the league) will be very present this time. International Swiss Mbabu is also operational as are the attackers Franculino (3 goals in the league) and Kuchta. Against Hoffenheim, it was right winger Osorio who found the fault.
