Maccabi Haifa to Win
Maccabi Haifa have looked a cut above many of the other teams in the qualification stage of the Europa Conference League and the Israeli giants have scored 14 times in four fixtures in the competition. Neftchi Baku meanwhile, looked well off the pace against HJK in the clubs’ Europa League double-header and they are worth opposing again when they face a superior Haifa outfit.
Over 2.5 Goals
Maccabi Haifa’s goalscoring power has been evident in this season’s Europa League qualifiers and their fixtures in the competition have averaged a staggering 4.75 goals per 90 minutes. The Green Locomotives look well on track to hurtle into the Group Stage of the competition and their incisive play in the final third makes the over 2.5 goals market worth pursuing again.
Dean David to Score Anytime
New Maccabi Haifa signing Dean David has already made a positive impact for his new employers and the 25-year-old attacker is one to watch in the anytime goalscorer market on Thursday. David has already scored three times in just four Europa Conference League appearances this term and with his finishing looking sharp, we’re tipping him to produce a game-changing moment again.
Neftchi vs Maccabi Haifa: Match Preview
Neftchi
Azerbaijani champions Neftchi Baku have stumbled out of the blocks in 2021/22 and they are in the midst of a five-match winless run ahead of their first-leg skirmish with Maccabi Haifa this week. The Oil Workers have been a familiar face in European football’s qualification rounds for several years, though making it to a competition proper has proven difficult.
Maccabi Haifa
Maccabi Haifa won their 13th title in Israel last season, though their dreams of making it to the Champions League were dashed by Kazakhstani side Kairat in the qualifiers. Barak Bakhar’s men have looked far more at home in the Europa Conference League however and the Greens have been scoring goals for fun.
