Maccabi Tel Aviv have had to seek a neutral venue for their home match against CSKA Sofia in the Europa League. These two start off their third qualifying round tie on Thursday in Batumi, both looking to build on strong starts to the season. As both are enjoying solid returns, our prediction drifts towards the teams sharing spoils.
In the final of these qualifiers, the winner here will meet OFI Crete. Maccabi will be confident of progressing beyond the play-offs, as they are targeting another appearance in the league stage.
Last season they managed just one point after eight league phase matches. To advance here, the Israeli side beat Sheriff 1-0 to complete a 6-0 aggregate win. That marked a third straight victory.
CSKA Sofia are coming off their second win of the season in their domestic league. They beat Dunav Ruse 2-1, placing themselves on a confident footing here.
While they come into this game feeling they can take the early advantage, CSKA have only managed two wins in regular time in their last five matches. Three of those were drawn.
The team’s last two matches in Europe ended in 0-0 draws against Qarabag before winning on post-match penalties. Earlier, the Bulgarian side had edged Derry City 5-3 in the second round.

Our Maccabi Tel Aviv FC vs PFC CSKA Sofia Prediction
Maccabi Tel Aviv have a statement to make following their poor run in the Europa League last season. The Israeli side managed just one point in the league phase and will be looking to go all the way again and right a few wrongs.
In this game, however, playing as the home team but away from home might slow their solid start to the season. They face a CSKA Sofia side that’s undefeated in seven matches. The visitors have won just once in six away matches though. Our prediction for Maccabi Tel Aviv v CSKA Sofia is for a draw.
