Maccabi Tel Aviv have established a strong home record in the Europa League, winning 13 of their last 17 matches at this level, including a victory against TSC earlier this year. In contrast, TSC have struggled significantly on the road, managing to secure points in just four of their last 17 away games in the Europa League.
Maccabi Tel Aviv are known for their defensive solidity at home, with 17 of their last 20 top-flight matches, including the most recent nine, featuring under 2.5 goals. This trend suggests that a high-scoring match is unlikely, especially against a TSC team that has seen 13 of their last 17 away games also end with fewer than three goals.
TSC’s matches in the Europa League have rarely seen both teams score, with only two of their last 15 games featuring goals from both sides. Similarly, clean sheets have been common in Maccabi Tel Aviv’s recent games, with at least one goalkeeper keeping a shutout in eight of their last 13 fixtures.
In Maccabi Tel Aviv’s last 19 home games at this level, 14 have ended with fewer than 2.5 goals, including the last four consecutively. This pattern is mirrored in 13 of TSC’s last 16 away matches, suggesting that this encounter is likely to be another low-scoring affair.
Prediction: Maccabi Tel Aviv 1 : 0 TSC
