Sivasspor vs Maccabi Tel Aviv
UEFA Europa League
Date: Thursday, October 29, 2024
Start at 17.55 in the UK
Location: Yeni Sivas 4 Eylul Stadyumu, Sivas.

Despite not having achieved a positive result, many fans were satisfied with Sivasspor's debut in the group stage of the Europa League last week. The Turkish team was defeated 3-5 FT, but showed strong offensive potential and confidence to attack a much stronger opponent.

This time they play at home against a slightly weaker rival, Maccabi Tel Aviv. This can easily become a very high scoring affair if a goal is scored in the early stages.

In terms of odds, punters gave the hosts better odds of winning the three points at 2,35, while the Israeli champions cost 3,10. Let's take a look at the recent form and stats for these teams.

Sivasspor vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Head-to-Head

This will be the first head-to-head meeting between Sivasspor and Maccabi Tel Aviv in history.

Sivasspor vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction

The only experience Sivasspor has had on the European stage dates back to the 2009 UEFA Cup. They faced Shakhtar Donetsk and were easily defeated both times with an aggregate goal difference of 0-5. Three goals scored against Villarreal surprised many. The score after 65 minutes was 3-3 thanks to goals from Gradel, Kayode and Yatabare.

Form doesn't look too good when it comes to the Turkish Super Lig, who have taken just four points from their last three matches. Sivas was defeated at this venue on Saturday against Rizespor.

After being knocked out of the Champions League playoffs, Maccabi Tel Aviv are focusing a lot more on their Europa League clashes than their newly started Ligat Ha'al.

UEL's start to the campaign was good, beating Qarabag last week at home by 1-0. The only goal was scored by Yonatan Cohen in the early stages. We do not believe that the Israeli champions will lose this game in Turkey.
