Slovan Bratislava is the current Champion of Slovakia, and now are playing with lot of motivation as they have never reached this stage of Champions League since 2014-15 season.
They have an experienced team with quality and a good coach like Weiss. Have several players with a lot of experience at the international level with their national teams, and also in Europe with other clubs: Borjan, Kashia, Kucka, Kanvaka, Weiss Jr…
Have made a very good preseason winning all games played, and their performances in the previous stages of this tournament have been good too:
Managed to hold a draw at home against Hesperange after receiving a red card at 46’, which was followed by a solid and deserved victory 0:2 in the second game.
Against Zrinjski in the next round, achieved a victory in the first game (0:1) and managed very well the second game, scoring at 5’ and 66’ and leading the game 2:0 till 76’ minute, when guests scored one goal and managed to equalize at 93’, but the qualification was never in danger for Slovan Bratislava.
And now they have their last step to reach the Champions League group stage, which could be a big success for them. They also started the new season already with two rounds played (both with reserves), so they have better fit and more pace than Maccabi Haifa, who has not started their league yet.
As for Maccabi, the team is also very interesting, but in the summer they lost 3 key players - Batubinsika, Abu Fani and the main striker Atzili (22 goals last season, 20 the year before). The replacement for Atzili came from Nurnberg - the young striker Erik Shuranov who scored only 1 goal in 16 games last season in Bundesliga2 and was reserve.
In addition, Maccabi plays much better at home than away.
They have a bigger Champions League pedigree and more experience, but I think they’ll struggle a lot here in this match. In the previous rounds, outplayed and beat deservedly (0:4 and 2:1) a weak team like Hamrun, but against Sheriff struggled a lot.
Lost the first leg 1:0, whilst in the second game at home started losing the game and scored the winning goal (2:1) at 85’. Until that minute, Maccabi Haifa was out of the Champions League. Then, managed to qualify in the extra-time with 3 goals after a red card to guests.
Maybe Maccabi is favorite to qualify, but I’m sure they’ll need to do it at home. Slovan will have huge fans support in this match and will be really motivated, and they showed that they are able to at least avoid a defeat here. Maccabi Haifa will have the control of the match but is Slovan the team I see with more danger here, as they will be able to attack with spaces, where Maccabi struggles a lot as shown against Sheriff in the previous round.

布拉迪斯拉发是本届斯洛伐克的冠军球队，自从2014-15赛季以来，他们从未进入过欧冠的这个阶段，现在他们正在充满动力地比赛。
他们有一支经验丰富的高素质球队，还有像韦斯这样的好教练。有几名球员在国家队和欧洲其他俱乐部都有丰富的国际经验:博尔扬、卡什亚、库卡、坎瓦卡、小韦斯……
他们在季前赛中取得了非常出色的全胜，他们在本赛季前几个阶段的表现也很好:
在第46分钟吃到红牌后，在主场与西班牙人的比赛中保持了平局，随后在第二场比赛中以0:2取得了坚实的胜利。
在接下来的比赛中，对阵兹林斯基，在第一场比赛中取得胜利(0:1)，并在第二场比赛中表现出色，在5 '和66 '时进球，并以2:0领先比赛，直到76分钟，客人打进一球，并设法将比分扳平在93 '，但斯洛伐克布拉迪斯拉发的出线从未受到威胁。
现在他们已经迈出了进入欧冠小组赛的最后一步，这对他们来说可能是一个巨大的成功。新赛季开始时，他们已经打了两轮比赛(都是预备队)，所以他们比还没有开始联赛的海法马卡比有更好的适应和更快的速度。
至于马卡比，这支球队也很有趣，但在夏天他们失去了3名关键球员——巴图宾西卡、阿布·法尼和主力前锋阿齐利(上赛季22球，前年20球)。阿齐利的替代者来自纽伦堡——年轻的前锋埃里克·舒拉诺夫，上赛季他在德甲16场比赛中只打进1球，并且是替补。
此外，马卡比在主场的表现比在客场要好得多。
他们有更强的欧冠血统和更多的经验，但我认为他们在这场比赛中会遇到很多困难。在前几轮比赛中，击败Hamrun这样的弱队(0:4和2:1)是当之无愧的，但对阵Sheriff时却打得很挣扎。
第一回合1:0输球，第二回合主场比赛开始输球，并在85 '时打进致胜球(2:1)。在那之前，海法马卡比已经无缘欧冠。然后，在对客人出示红牌后，他在加时赛中以3球成功晋级。
也许马卡比最有希望出线，但我相信他们需要在主场完成。在这场比赛中，斯洛文尼亚将得到大量球迷的支持，他们将非常有动力，他们至少可以在这里避免失败。海法马卡比将控制比赛，但我认为斯洛文尼亚队在这里更有危险，因为他们可以利用空间进攻，马卡比在上一轮对阵谢里夫的比赛中表现得很挣扎。
