With no real competition worthy of the name in Israel, Maccabi Tel Aviv won a new league title by 6 lengths ahead of its runner-up, Maccabi Haifa. Engaged in the first round of these qualifications, Giorgos Dennis’s men had no difficulty in dismissing Riga (2-0), Suduva (0-3), before dominating Dynamo Brest at home last week. At the same time, they also won the Israel SuperCup (2-0 in the first leg and back against Hapoël Beer Sheva) but missed their debut in the league by losing to Maccabi Tel-Aviv (2- 1) then being held in check by Bnei Yehuda Tel Aviv (2-2).

For its part, Salzburg won its 14th Austrian title this summer, its 8th in 10 years, despite a 2nd place at the end of the regular season behind LASK. But the club of the Red Bull subsidiary accelerated during the playoffs and took advantage of penalty points inflicted on its main competitor who found himself stunned by this decision, to maintain its hegemony at the national level. For the moment, Jesse Marsch’s men have left on high bases. Ruthless in the Austrian Cup against the modest club Bregenz (0-10), they then won their first two league games against Wolfsberger (1-3) and Rheindorf Altach (4-1).

The workforce for Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Salzburg

Maccabi can rely on its Israeli internationals like defenders Yeini (20 caps) and Tibi (43 caps), midfielders Glazer (8 caps), Peretz (16 caps), and Cohen (6 caps), and the attacking Almog. At the front, we find the experienced Shechter (ex-Nantes), decisive twice during the first 2 days. This summer, the Maccabi lost the important Geraldes and Micha but recovered the internationals Bitton and Ben Haim II. For this match, substitute Nikolic, Piven-Bachtiar and Hozez are a priori always forfeit.

On the Salzburg side, we let go of the second top scorer Hwang Hee-Chan (11 goals) with the big brother, RB Leipzig, while defender Lyonnais Oumar Solet arrived. Decisive 24 times last year, striker Daka is still very present. He also scored 2 goals during the first 2 days just like the young Sékou Koïta. We also find in this team the internationals Stankovic (4 caps), Ulmer (19 caps), and Wober (6 caps) as well as the rising value of Hungarian football Szoboszlai (10 caps, 2 goals at 19). For this trip, the rookie Solet and the important Junuzovic are absent.
