Gameday in Haifa for the first leg of the quarter final qual between Maccabi haifa & Olympiakos.

Haifa will be without important player, Mahmoud Jaber who has been injured in the clash lost against Beer Sheva. Tjaronn Chery should be starter now especially after being benched on the previous game.

On their side Olympiakos lost an important player Onyekuru.

For sure it will be a difficult game because there is a gap between the budget of both teams and Olympiakos has much stronger individualities as Valbuena, El Arabi, Tiquinho, Manolas for the defense etc.

Haifa isn't playing often that kind of game so theywill get a huge support from their fans and they will put a big pressure on Olympiakos. Since years, Olympiakos is always a team who is in trouble to perform away of their stadium.

The player to watch will of course be their striker Atzili who made an amazing season with 20 goals and 10 assists. They could keep him in the team so it's an important thing for them.

I expect a 1-1 or 1-0 on this game with Olympiakos to take the possession but nothing more.
