Maccabi Haifa FC vs Kairat Almaty Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Champions League Predictions
Israeli giants Maccabi Haifa’s season opens with a Champions League game, a first qualification round clash against Kazakhstan’s Kairat Almaty. Hosts Maccabi Haifa haven’t been in action since their last game of the league last season, at the close of May. They go into this game with a three-game unbeaten run, and two wins and a loss in the last five matches. In the five matches, they have one clean sheet only and in three of them, they’ve conceded two goals each. They’ve scored two goals or more in three of the five matches as well, and in three of the matches, both sides have scored. Maccabi Haifa were very strong at home, at the close of last season; they carry to this game a run of four wins in the last five home matches and in each of these wins, they’ve scored two goals or more.
Kairat Almaty’s domestic season is well on course and after 19 rounds they are third in the standings with 37 points. The league takes a two-month break and Kairat will switch focus to the domestic cup and Champions League. Next on their roster is a game against Maccabi Haifa, a team they faced in September last year, and beat 2-1, in the Europa League. They have the advantage of having played every week until recently and are unbeaten in their last eight matches. In those eight matches, Kairat have scored in each, with forwards Artur Shushenachev and Vagner Love scoring a combined 13 goals. In each of the last five matches, the team has hit two goals or more, with three clean sheets. However, both sides have scored in half of Kairat’s last 10 matches, while they have failed to score in just one of those.
