Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Betting Tips (24 October)

Champion of Israel last year by thus ending the reign of Maccabi Haifa, Maccabi Tel Aviv will now try to best represent their championship on a European scale but they lost their first two matches in the competition against Braga 2 -1 and the Danes of Midtjylland during the 2nd day 0-2. Before the international break, the evening locals won the championship on the Netanya pitch 1-2 and they hosted Maccabi Haifa last weekend to confirm their excellent form at the start of the season with 5 wins and a draw in 6 championship days to follow. Real Sociedad, for its part, is having a lot of trouble getting started this season. In the Europa League, the players of San Sebastian are not at their best with a parity score conceded to Nice 1-1 and with a defeat at home against the Mauves of Anderlecht 1-2.

The Basques are not much more prominent in La Liga with only 2 victories won against Espanyol on the road 0-1 and against a Valencia team in difficulty at home 3-0. Last weekend, as part of the 10th day of the championship, the residents of the Reale Arena traveled to Montilivi de Girona in a match between two European teams who were clearly disappointing at the start of the season to follow, 15 days after the match draw snatched at the end of the match against Atlético Madrid 1-1.

Excluded against Braga, midfielder Kanichowsky (important) and Dutch international hopeful Asante (holder) will a priori be eligible to play in the European Cup again after having served their suspension against Midtjylland in J2. On the contrary, the former Bordeaux player Sissokho (6 appearances in the league) will serve a one-match suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards. In addition, the important defender Jehezkel (arrived free from Antalyaspor this summer), the Israeli international Revivo (absent for the October gathering), Ido Shahar, and the prolific striker Turgeman (2 goals in 4 appearances this season in the league) are injured and probably OUT for this meeting.At Real Sociedad, former Rennes Hamari Traoré is seriously injured and he will not be available for this away match, the same goes for the offensive Zakharyan while Zubeldia, absent against Anderlecht in J2, returned to competition immediately in the championship.

Elustondo is not sure if he will make the trip. We should still find in the group the Japanese international Kubo, the captain Mikel Oyarzabal, the rookie Sucic and the important Barrenetxea who are reliable options in the offensive sector to make differences.
