Maccabi Tel Aviv and Sheriff face off in Israel in the second leg of a tie practically decided by the first leg, where the Israeli team showed why they were favorites in Moldova, winning and thrashing their opponents 5-0.
The return match at the Adjarabet Arena is a mere formality. However, considering that the domestic league doesn't start until August 22, Maccabi Tel Aviv will do everything possible to maintain their momentum and inflict another defeat on Sheriff on Thursday. Bookmakers believe they can certainly do so. Maccabi Tel Aviv then faces a tough Europa League match against the winner of Qarabag vs. CSKA Sofia.
Maccabi Tel Aviv scored five goals in the first leg, netted by four different players. Abu Farkhi scored his second goal from the penalty spot, and defender Roy Revivo registered two assists. It's an ideal start for the Israeli club, which earlier won its first official match of the season, clinching the Israeli Super Cup.

Our Maccabi Tel Aviv FC vs Sheriff Tiraspol Prediction
Last season, Maccabi Tel Aviv failed to win the Israeli league, ending their streak of two consecutive titles, which began in the 2023/2024 season. Even so, the team has continued to qualify for European competitions, usually progressing through the qualifying rounds.
Sheriff, meanwhile, is the dominant force in Moldovan football, but the squad has undergone significant changes in recent years and has lost much of its defensive cohesion.
Our prediction for Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Sheriff is: Maccabi Tel Aviv -1.5.
