Predictions for Maccabi Tel-Aviv vs. Porto

For this match, we predict Porto to win 2-1 or draw 1-1, and this is why. Maccabi Tel-Aviv’s defensive frailties have seen them concede in each of their last six matches. Porto, despite their poor away form (0-1-2), have a stronger squad and will look to exploit Maccabi’s vulnerabilities. However, Maccabi’s consistency in scoring at home (16 consecutive matches) suggests they could trouble Porto’s backline.

Prediction: Porto to Win or Draw – 1.58

We also predict this match to feature over two goals, and this is why. Both teams have struggled defensively, with Porto conceding 11 goals in seven games and Maccabi conceding 16. Furthermore, Maccabi scores 2.06 goals per home game on average, while Porto averages 1.75 away goals. This could lead to an exciting contest with multiple goals.

Prediction: Over 2 Goals – 1.65

Match Preview for Maccabi Tel-Aviv vs. Porto

Maccabi Tel-Aviv: Maccabi are battling to escape the bottom spots of the group, sitting 29th with six points from seven games. Despite their poor defensive record, they remain a threat at home, thanks to players like Dor Peretz, who has scored twice, and Weslley Patati, with three assists. Their discipline has been an issue, however, with three red cards in the tournament.

Porto: Porto has endured a challenging Europa League campaign, sitting 25th with just eight points. They head into this clash on a four-match losing streak. Samuel Omorodion, their top scorer with five goals, and Pepe, with two assists, will be key to revitalizing Porto’s attack. However, their inability to keep clean sheets away from home has been costly.
