Maccabi Haifa vs Olympiacos. Will the hosts be able to make a start before the second leg?
On July 20, in the quarterfinal match of the Champions League qualification, Maccabi Haifa and Olympiacos will measure their strength. The fight will be hosted by the Sammy Ofer arena (Haifa).
Maccabi finished in first place in the Israeli championship at the end of last season, it is worth noting that this success in the history of the club has already become the 14th. According to the results of the last European season, the "greens from Carmel" made their debut in the group stage of the LKF, but the team frankly failed, becoming the last in the quartet. The new season in Israel has not started yet, so the guys of Barak Bahar had to keep fit in freight trains. It is worth noting that Maccabi did not show the best result in sparring, losing all the meetings.
In the last match, the club from Haifa lost to Vitesse 0:1.
Olympiacos
Olympiacos is one of the strongest clubs in Greece, the team holds the title of 47-time champion of the country. But at the European level, the “red-whites” perform more modestly, especially not grabbing stars from heaven. Last season, the team played in the Europa League, as a result of which they managed to break into the 1/16 finals. Already in the playoffs, the wards of Pedro Martins lost almost no chance to Atlanta (1:2, 0:3). Before the start of the season, Olympiacos played a series of 8 friendly matches, celebrating only two victories in them.
In the last match, the Red-Whites lost to Aris 1:2.
