Recap: Maccabi Haifa vs Maccabi Tel Aviv 1:3 (Sport1)
While Maccabi Tel Aviv is experiencing difficulties in the Premier League, Eduardo Guerrero excels in the Ukrainian league. And that's good news for the yellow-and-blue as well, who are likely to benefit from the sale of the Panamanian striker.
Guerrero started the season on loan to Beitar Jerusalem, but the connection at Bayit Vagan did not work and he rarely played. In January he was released from Beitar and moved on loan to Zorya Luhansk of Patrick van Leeuwen and Raymond Etveld. The two have worked with him very successfully in the past and in the Ukrainian team it is also a winning combination.
On Monday, Guerrero scored a great goal in a 0-3 win over Metalist Kharkiv and in eight games he has four goals and four assists. Since the 23-year-old striker arrived, Zorya has 9 wins from 10 matches and the only time they lost, he was not involved due to injury.
Zorya Luhansk has a €500,<> purchase option and it looks like it will exercise it and buy Guerrero from Maccabi Tel Aviv. If Zorya can't pay half a million euros, the Yellows could demand more than any team that has looked to Guerrero in recent months. Maccabi also has a percentage of the next sale, and if Zoria buys Guerrero and immediately sells him, the Israeli team's profit will increase slightly.

Thanks to its sprint up the table, Zorya Luhansk is third in the Ukrainian league, five points clear of leaders Shakhtar Donetsk.
