*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

With an 83.3 win probability, Maccabi are fancied 10 times as much as their opponents to emerge triumphant, and the onus is firmly on the hosts to live up to expectations.

Zarko Lazetic's men showed great spirit to come from behind last time out as they claimed a 2-1 first-leg victory over Hamrun.

After going behind to N'Dri Koffi's opener 19 minutes from time, Maccabi drew level through Roy Revivo before completing the turnaround in second-half stoppage time through Elad Madmon.

Hamrun have not been in action since last week's defeat and will be aiming to keep their European journey alive before the Maltese Premier League gets underway on Sunday.

Maccabi Tel Aviv preview: Ofek Melika set to return between the sticks

Melika was sent off in his last appearance for Maccabi as they crashed out to Pafos in the Champions League qualifiers.

The Israel international was absent from his side's first-leg win but is back available to play a part in the second leg, which spells bad news for Roi Mishpati.

Predicted lineup: Melika (GK), Camara, Stojic, Asante, Revivo, Shahar, Sissokho, Peretz, Jehezkel, Patati & Nicolaescu

Hamrun Spartans preview: N'Dri Koffi aiming to build on debut goal

Following his summer arrival from French outfit Sochaux, Koffi was thrown straight into the action for Hamrun but only just opened his account in last week's 2-1 defeat.

The Ivorian will be expected to lead the line once again and will need to be on song if his side are to have any chance of coming back.

Predicted lineup: Bonello (GK), Mbong, Eder, Bjelicic, Camenzuli, Thioune, Polito, Cadjenovic, Compri, Coric & Koffi

Player to watch – Elad Madmon

After netting 12 goals for Hapoel Hadera in the 2023-24 season, Madmon earned himself a move to Maccabi but endured a relatively underwhelming debut campaign, netting just four times across all competitions.

The midfielder has already gotten halfway across his output from last season in four games this term and is one to keep an eye on.

Madmon pushing for a place in the XI after terrific impact off the bench

Madmon was brought on as a half-time substitute last time out, where he netted in stoppage time to hand his side a first-leg advantage.

That was the second time the 21-year-old had found the back of the net off the bench after his equaliser against Pafos back in July.

Madmon will definitely be pushing for a place in the lineup ahead of Thursday's second leg, and he could very well get the nod.
