FK Panevezys faces a challenging task as they aim to disrupt their rivals’ promotion hopes. However, with a 15-match winless streak on the road, including five straight losses, achieving such an outcome appears unlikely. In contrast, Maccabi Tel Aviv has been in excellent form, winning eight of their last nine home games at this level.
Maccabi Tel Aviv has provided plenty of excitement in the Europa League, with nine of their last 11 home matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Given that 15 of the last 18 FK Panevezys league games have also been high-scoring, fans can expect an entertaining start to the new season.
Despite this, FK Panevezys’ away games tend to be less thrilling, with six of their last seven away fixtures in the Europa League ending with at least one team keeping a clean sheet. Similarly, Maccabi Tel Aviv has seen eight of their last nine home matches at this level result in clean sheets, including six consecutive games.
Prediction
Hosting FK Panevezys has typically been favorable, with 17 of the last 20 home teams claiming all three points against them.
Considering Maccabi Tel Aviv’s recent success, with 15 wins in their last 20 home games, it seems likely that they will secure a comfortable victory in this matchup between a strong team and one that’s been struggling.
Predicted Score: Maccabi Tel Aviv 3 : 0 FK Panevezys.
