Zira has a poor experience playing in European competitions. They only got to the Europa League qualification once in the entire history, and were quickly eliminated. The creation of the Conference League allowed them to once again be in the European qualification, although their squad is modest and inexperienced for this.
Maccabi Tel Aviv has been taking part in European competitions for a long time, and the team has often played in the Europa League or Champions League group stages recently. But last season, the club showed a poor start in the competition, so they could only get into the Conference League.
The team’s class difference is visible to the naked eye. Maccabi Tel Aviv has well-organized defensive play, so we don't think the modest Azerbaijani club will score against them.
Our prediction: Zira not to score. We recommend the “1 Under 0.5” bet, odds 2.3
