The first big moment of Maccabi Haifa's season has arrived: the national champion meets its Greek counterpart, Olympiacos, as part of the second round of the Champions League qualifiers.
The Greens, who have not played in Europe's top factory since 2009, are hoping to get an advance that will bring them an advantage in reciprocity in Athens, where it will be decided next week that they will face Apollon Limassol in the third round.
Barak Bachar's team enjoys the support of about 30,000 fans who filled the stadium stands in Haifa.
The rival, who has never been through an Israeli team in a European factory and has already been eliminated by Bachar himself when it coached Hapoel Beer Sheva, is considered on paper to be much better than the Greens, meaning the pressure is much greater - and relegation at this stage will be considered a diligent failure for Olympiacos.
Maccabi Haifa came up with a method similar to the one they played in the "Champion of Champions" on Saturday, when no changes were made in the defense and in the offensive part Dolev Haziza, Dean David and Charon Sheri in 11 along with Atzili.
Nikita Rokavitsia and Frenzy Piero remained on the bench.
The rival squad included right defender Shima Versalko who came from Atletico Madrid and left winger Yorgos from Suras.
The king of last season's goals - Yosef al-Arabi, remains on the bench.
Due to a delay in the arrival of Olympiacos to the stadium due to the heavy traffic jams and the accident that occurred on Route 4, the game was postponed by a quarter of an hour and started at 20:15.
