FK TSC Backa Topola vs Maccabi Tel Aviv FC Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Kennedy Kechula in Europa League Predictions
One of Backa Topola or Maccabi Tel Aviv will secure a place in the league stage of the UEFA Europa League this season. That will be decided when the two teams meet in the return leg of the Play-off round tie on Thursday 29th August. We have a prediction for this match which is scheduled to kick off at 8pm GMT at the TSC Arena.
A 3-0 away loss in the first leg left Backa Topola in a massive hole as far as progressing in this competition is concerned. The Serbian side had such a poor outing that for the entire second half, they had to play with nine men after seeing two players sent off shortly before the break.
As for Maccabi Tel Aviv, playing the home game away in Hungary wasn’t much of a bother. They will now look to complete the job ahead of the league phase draw to be conducted on Friday.
The loser here will drop to the league phase in the Conference League.

FK TSC Backa Topola - Maccabi Tel Aviv FC: Form Analysis
Backa Topola didn’t have to play in the preliminary qualification rounds of the Europa League. They came straight to the play-off round after a third-place finish in the Serbian SuperLiga last season.
That was supposed to be an indicator of their status coming into the second most prestigious club tournament in Europe. However, it hasn’t gone to plan and their fate in the Europa League is hanging by a thread.
The hosts haven't really managed to settle into the new season, winning just two of their six matches so far. Three of the remaining four ended in defeats and they failed to score in four of the last five matches.
Even with having this match on home soil, manager Dean Klafuric has an unenviable task ahead of him given the difficult circumstances his team is dealing with.
After exiting the Champions League, Maccabi Tel Aviv have three straight wins in the Europa League.
Meanwhile, Maccabi coach Zarko Lazetić will enjoy every moment of his team’s current state. They are not only taking into this game a comfortable lead, the Israelis are beaming with confidence coming here unbeaten in four matches.
The visitors have won all of those four matches. Three of the wins were in the Europa League following their elimination from the Champions League by Steaua Bucharest. In three Europa League matches this season, Maccabi Tel Aviv scored eight times while concededing only one goal.
They will not even be fazed about playing this game in Serbia. All of the Israeli side’s continental matches this season have been staged away from home owing to the security situation in their country.

FK TSC Backa Topola & Maccabi Tel Aviv FC Squad Analysis
Backa Topola will not have Mateja Ðordevic and Mihajlo Banjac available for selection in this game. The two were sent off in the first leg, a game that saw four other players on the Serbian side also pick up bookings.
Stefan Jovanovic, who started on the bench in the first leg, is sure to start here as Backa Topola deal with Ðordevic’s suspension.
There could also be starting berths offered to Petar Stanic and Milos Pantovic, reflecting the need for goals.
Two red cards in the first leg leave Backia Topola with a leaner pool to choose from.
Meanwhile, with a 3-0 lead, Maccabi Tel Aviv may want to just focus on defending more to protect their lead. Roi Mishpati is expected to keep his place between the sticks after his performance in the first leg.
The same applies to the central defensive pairing of Raz Shlomo and Tyrese Asante. As there could be less focus on attacking, Hisham Layous might make space for a more defensive minded player.

Our FK TSC Backa Topola vs Maccabi Tel Aviv FC Prediction
Backa Topola had a poor outing last time out, a culmination of a shaky run so far in the season. While they will be playing at home in the return leg, the damage done from the opening leg is too deep. They will miss two starters and are chasing a 3-0 deficit against a solid team that’s also high in confidence.
Maccabi Tel Aviv have played all their matches in Europe away from home and will be unmoved by the partisan crowd expected in Serbia. Our prediction for Backa Topola v Maccabi Tel Aviv is for Maccabi Tel Aviv to win.
FK TSC Backa Topola vs Maccabi Tel Aviv FC - Other Interesting Predictions
Both teams to score - NO
Maccabi Tel Aviv have two clean sheets in their last three matches. As they are expected to line up defensively, they are likely to make that three in four matches. The visitors face a side that hasn’t scored in four of the last five matches and their target here may work.
In our second prediction, we will back at least one team not to score.
