Maccabi Haifa vs Fiorentina Prediction & Tips
Maccabi Haifa and Fiorentina clash at the Bozsik Stadion in Budapest in the first leg of the Conference League Round of 16.
Maccabi Haifa go into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Hapoel Hadera in the Israeli league. The Israelis have reached this stage of the Conference League after eliminating Gent in the previous round. The Maccabi Haifa team usually plays in a 5-3-2 formation, where the two players whose job it is to cause panic in the opposing defense are Anan Khalaili and Frantzdy Pierrot. The midfield should be occupied by Show, Ali Mohamed and Lior Rafaelov. Daniel Sundgren is suspended for the game, as are Tomer Hemed, Erik Shuranov, Dolev Haziza, Sun Menahem, Ilay Hajaj, Mahmoud Jaber and Dean David, who are all out with fitness problems.
Fiorentina go into this game on the back of a 0-0 draw at Torino in a Serie A match. The Italians have reached this stage of the Conference League after finishing in 1st place in Group F with 12 points. It’s possible that we’ll see the away team prefer a 4-3-3 tactical formation, where the three most advanced players are Riccardo Sottil, Nicolás González and Andrea Belotti. When the Italian team goes on the attack, it’s usually through the left flank, taking advantage of the depth provided by full-back Cristiano Biraghi. Coach Vincenzo Italiano can’t count on Lucas Martínez Quarta, Oliver Christensen and Christian Kouamé, who are all out with fitness problems.
