It’s been four years since the home team heard the Champions League anthem in their stadium, and they haven’t competed in a European event since. The Maltese team will strive to put an end to their opponents’ pretension. To place the best bet, check out our Maribor vs Birkirkara prediction.
Top Picks and Predictions for Maribor vs Birkirkara in Sports Betting
Halftime Maribor
The host is the favorite to win both the opening leg and the entire series. The Slovenian club has extensive experience competing in European competitions. The host has won seven consecutive games.
The away team has failed to score goals in recent games. Their opponents forced them to utilize defensive methods, but the team performed poorly. That’s why I’ll start by saying that the Slovenians will go into the break with the score in favour, that’s my Maribor vs Birkirkara prediction.
Over 2.5 Goals
Six of the away team’s last eight games have resulted in more than 2.5 goals. In five of their last seven games, the home team was the first to score.
Birkirkara allowed 6 goals in their last two outings. It would not be surprising to see three or more goals in this match.
Goals in Both Halves
If the Maltese squad does not solve their defensive flaws in their next match, they will be in big trouble. The home squad features a strong bunch of accurate strikers.
Maribor creates a lot of chances per game, especially when they face a weak defense. Based on these statistics, I anticipate goals in both the first and second halves.
The Latest Maribor vs Birkirkara Preview:
Maribor
The Slovenian PrvaLiga team is coached by Favor Krznarde. After two appearances in the Champions League and two more in the Europa League in the last decade, the club is keen to return to European competition.
This year, they finished with 10 less points than the champions. Maribor finished 18 games with 10 victories, 4 draws, and 4 losses. The offense performed admirably, with the squad averaging two goals each game. The defense line struggled, allowing 21 goals.
Birkirkara
The Maltese Premier League runners-up played two friendly after the season ended, and the results were dismal. Birkirkara lost both games without scoring a goal and allowed a total of six goals.
Their second-place performance was excellent, but they only won 14 of their 26 games and were 19 points behind the top. To be successful with this team, Coach Giovanni Tedescoa must utilize a sound approach.
