Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Sheriff Preview

Maccabi Tel Aviv head into this Europa League second qualifying round clash at Bloomfield Stadium buoyed by a convincing 3-1 Super Cup triumph over Hapoel Be'er Sheva. Sayed Abu Farchi grabbed a brace in that fixture, with Dor Peretz also on target. Kenny Miller's side carry genuine momentum, and the Scottish coach has spoken openly about the club's ambition to reach the group stage for a third straight season. Their most recent competitive result before that was a defeat, though.

Sheriff Tiraspol arrive in Tel Aviv as seasoned European campaigners, currently top of the Moldovan Super Liga with ten points from four matches. They edged past NK Aluminij 1-0 on aggregate in the first qualifying round, demonstrating their trademark defensive resilience. The Tiraspol outfit have remained unbeaten domestically so far, picking up a win and a draw in their latest outings. Expect a compact, counter-attacking approach designed to keep this tie alive heading into the second leg.

Maccabi Tel Aviv's double chance selection rests on their recent momentum. That Super Cup victory was no fluke; Sayed Abu Farhi grabbed a brace while Dor Peretz also found the net, and both are expected to feature here. Kenny Miller's side showed attacking intent and defensive resilience in that performance, qualities that translate well to a European home fixture at Bloomfield Stadium.

Sheriff Tiraspol are no strangers to continental football, but their path here has been modest. A narrow 1-0 aggregate win over NK Aluminij in the first qualifying round hardly inspires confidence in their ability to dominate away from Tiraspol. Their compact defensive approach could frustrate Maccabi, yet creating enough on the counter to win outright looks a tall order against a side with genuine home support.

The home win at 1.34 carries appeal, though Sheriff's disciplined structure makes the draw at 5.10 a realistic outcome too. Backing the double chance covers both scenarios neatly. Maccabi's quality in the final third, combined with the advantage of playing the first leg at home, tilts this fixture firmly in their favour. A clean defeat for the Israeli side appears unlikely given the evidence available.

Trends to Know about Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Sheriff

Both sides line up in a 4-3-3 mirror match, though it is worth flagging that neither XI carries full confirmation, with both sourced from speculative predictions across multiple outlets. The tactical shape at least appears settled, promising an open, high-tempo contest in Tel Aviv.

For Maccabi, Dor Peretz figures as the creative pivot in midfield, while Sheriff will look to Jayder Asprilla to provide the cutting edge on the break. Given the speculative nature of both selections, treat the named XIs as informed estimates rather than certainties ahead of kickoff.
