PSG vs Maccabi Haifa Prediction: Expect a home team to win

PSG has twice failed to beat Benfica, but they can still make the playoffs against Maccabi. Will the Parisians be able to meet the challenge?

Under Christophe Galtier, the Parisian club is playing for results. PSG is balanced on the pitch, does not take unnecessary risks, and, as a consequence, concedes very little. Although they don't always win, as they did in their 1:1 and 1:1 draws with Benfica, such football is very effective over the long run. After four rounds in the Champions League group, PSG shares first place with Benfica, and if they win against Maccabi, they will advance to the playoffs.

Last weekend, PSG played an away game in the French championship against Ajaccio and won 3:0. In 12 rounds of the domestic championship, PSG has ten wins, no losses, only five conceded goals, and is in first place with a handicap of 5 points.

The team is determined to fight for third place in the Champions League group and a spot in the Europa League playoffs. After their 2:0 home win over Juventus, Maccabi shares third place with the Turin side ahead of the final two rounds of the group. Everything will be decided in the remaining matches.

In the Israeli championship, Maccabi Haifa won its previous match - 3:2 away against Kiryat Shmona. Maccabi is leading the national league table with a 2-point handicap, having won 7 of theirnine9 games.

PSG has been playing balanced football this season, rarely playing productively. In their match against Maccabi, the Parisians will likely score just enough to win comfortably - 2:3 goals. Maccabi will hardly be able to achieve more than one goal - the difference in class is too significant.
