Maccabi Haifa vs Apollon Limassol FC

Maccabi Haifa is coming of a very nice elimination round against Olympiakos, they where the clear underdog in that elimination but dominated both games, the home game was very unlucky for them, even by dominating the game the team was 0:1 down till finally in the 90+2 minute they scored the draw and the game ended in a 1:1, that result in terms of performances was a bad one because they dominated and should have won that game by 1 or even 2 goals and facing Olympiakos on the road would be a very tough journey, however, it wasn't, the team beat Olympiakos 4:0 on the road and more impressive than the result was how well they played, dominating Olympiakos on the road was very surprising to see and what shows me that Maccabi Haifa can dream about the Champions League group stage especially after already know that their next final elimination round if they advance here will be against Crvena Zvevda or Pyunik, in my opinion Olympiakos was harder than any of this opponents left but now Maccabi Haifa needs to prove it that they belong in the Champions League.

Apollon Limassol are the Cyprus Champions and haven't start their season yet, they played 4 friendly games and lost 3 of them and got one draw only, overall not the best start and especially not a great confidence boost with those results to come to Israel and try to get something positive but of course they will try it but from their results we saw that they are team who has some concerns on the defensive side and also their history in European Competitions in this stage is very low so I would be very suprised to see Apollon getting some here in Israel, it's always very tough to play in Israel in this situation, however, Apollon is a team who can handle the heat so I don't think that will be a big edge for Maccabi Haifa but they come here has a clear underdog, not only because they are the weaker team but also because Maccabi Haifa is already in game season shape and showed great signs.

Maccabi Haifa surprised me how good they played in that elimination against a good Olympiakos team, not only because of the results but especially from what I saw from them, high intensity and quality and dominating in theory a stronger team than them and now they can for sure dream about the Champions League group stage but for that they need to eliminate this Apollon team, the only problem than maybe can hurt Maccabi Haifa is that in this elimination they are the favourites and will need to take control of the game and they can't play the same style of football they played against Olympiakos but even so I would be surprised here if Maccabi Haifa doesn't beat Apollon at home, I see this match ending in a 2:1 or 3:1 win for the Israelis.

Good Luck

海法马卡比即将迎来与奥林匹亚科斯的淘汰赛，他们在淘汰赛中明显处于劣势，但在两场比赛中都占据了优势，主场比赛对他们来说非常不幸，即使他们控制了比赛，球队0:1落后，直到最后90+2分钟，他们才扳平，比赛以1:1结束。就表现而言，结果很糟糕，因为他们统治了比赛，本应以1球甚至2球取胜，客场对阵奥林匹亚科斯将是一段非常艰难的旅程，但事实并非如此，球队在客场4:0击败了奥林匹亚科斯，比结果更令人印象深刻的是他们的表现，在客场统治奥林匹亚科斯是非常令人惊讶的，这让我看到海法马卡比可以梦想欧冠小组赛，特别是在他们已经知道他们的下一轮淘汰赛，如果他们在这里晋级，将会面对兹维达或比尤尼克之后，在我看来奥林匹亚科斯比剩下的任何对手都要难，但现在海法马卡比需要证明他们属于欧冠。

阿波隆利马索尔是塞浦路斯冠军，他们还没有开始他们的赛季，他们打了4场友谊赛，输了3场，只有一场平局，总不是最好的开始,尤其是一个伟大的信心与这些结果来促进以色列和试图得到一些积极的当然他们会从他们的结果,但我们看到他们的团队也有一些问题在防守端和他们的历史在欧洲比赛在这个阶段很低所以我很惊讶在这里见到Apollon得到一些在以色列,在以色列总是非常艰难的在这种情况下,然而,阿波隆是一支可以应对炎热的球队，所以我不认为这对海法马卡比来说是一个很大的优势，但他们来到这里是一个明显的弱者，不仅因为他们是较弱的球队，还因为海法马卡比已经在比赛赛季的状态，展示了良好的迹象。

海法马卡比在对阵奥林匹亚科斯的淘汰赛中表现的如此出色让我感到惊讶，不仅是因为比赛结果，更因为我从他们身上看到的，高强度和高质量的比赛，从理论上说，他们是一支比他们强大的球队，现在他们肯定可以梦想进入欧冠小组赛，但为此他们需要淘汰这支阿波隆球队，唯一可能对海法不利的问题是，在这场淘汰赛中，他们是最受欢迎的球队，他们需要控制比赛，他们不能踢出与奥林匹亚科斯一样的足球风格，但即使如此，如果海法不能在主场击败阿波罗龙，我会感到惊讶，我认为这场比赛会以2:1或3:1的比分结束，以色列人。
