Maccabi Haifa will be drawn tomorrow (Wednesday, 13:00) in the second qualifying round of the Champions League.
The Israeli champion skipped the first round, so in fact she only needs to go through one round to secure a place in the European home stage.
Today (Tuesday) the first round of the qualifiers was held and tomorrow morning the possibilities of the Greens for the lottery will be reduced.
Already now, it is possible to mark a number of rivals that Haifa will want to avoid.
First, Greek champion Olympiacos, who is considered one of the strongest in the qualifying round.

Beyond that, Dinamo Zagreb, the Croatian champions, are also tough rivals.
A few years ago, Haifa coach Barak Bachar met the Croats with Hapoel B'Shlosha, when the then champion suffered a 5-0 draw at Maximir Stadium on the way to relegation. Franzvaros from Hungary is considered a comfortable rival.
Complete rivalry list:
Dinamo Zagreb
Olympiacos
Victoria Plzen
Krabah / Lech Poznan
Malmo / opponent from the early round
Ludogorets / Sotiska
Sheriff Tiraspol / Zrinsky
Cluj / Pionik Irban
