TSC’s last experience in the top-flight ended on a sour note, with the team losing eight of their final 12 regular season matches. Returning to this level of competition could prove to be a significant challenge for them. Facing Maccabi Tel Aviv, who have secured eight wins in their last ten matches, is likely not the ideal matchup for TSC.
In TSC’s last nine home games in the Europa League, no more than two goals have been scored, with a total of just ten goals across all those matches. Similarly, each of the last five games Maccabi Tel Aviv has played at this level has also seen fewer than three goals, suggesting that this match may follow a similar low-scoring pattern.
Looking at TSC’s recent form, both teams have scored in only four of their last 17 home fixtures in the Europa League. TSC themselves have failed to find the net in five of their last six Europa League matches. On the other hand, Maccabi Tel Aviv has either kept a clean sheet or failed to score in five of their last six away games in this competition.
Given that at least one team has kept a clean sheet in each of TSC’s last five Europa League matches, it’s likely that this trend will continue against Maccabi Tel Aviv. This is reinforced by the fact that Maccabi Tel Aviv’s last three away games at this level have also followed a similar pattern.
Prediction: TSC 0 : 1 Maccabi Tel Aviv
