Maccabi Haifa is hosting tonight (Wednesday, 22:00, Sport1) at Olympiakos for the return match in the second round of the Champions League qualifiers. The first game held in Haifa ended 1:1, and the Greens need a win to advance to the next stage, where any draw result will send the game to overtime and, if necessary, to penalties. About 1,200 fans will accompany the Israeli champion in the away game in Greece.
Coach Barak Becher decided to go with Franzi Piero and Dean David in the attack, so a 3-5-2 formation is expected with Dolev Haziza on the wing. The one who will wait for the opportunity on the bench is Omar Azili, whose fitness before the game was questioned. In the midfield, captain Neta Lavi was preferred in the 11th over Mohammed Abu Fani. In fact, the only change in the lineup is the replacement of Atzili with Piero.
