Match preview

After earning a credible draw in the Turkish capital last Thursday, are Maccabi Netanya now favourites to get through this tie?

A week ago, the Israeli side broke the deadlock at Başakşehir Fatih Terim Stadyumu after just two minutes; Gil Itzhak the scorer.

They then led for over 80 minutes until Patryk Szysz salvaged a draw for the Turkish club.

So, it’s now winner takes all at Netanya Stadium.

Maccabi Netanya came into this tie as big underdogs given their pitiful record in European competition.

To date, they’ve only won one of five ties in UEFA competition, this win coming over Sliema Wanderers in 2009.

As for İstanbul Başakşehir, they appeared in the Europa League group phase in 2017 and 2019 as well as the Champions League in 2020.

Despite this, the Grey Owls have actually lost their last three qualification ties, and are in danger of extending that streak to four.

Given that the Turkish side have lost their last five European away games, this is a distinct possibility.

Whoever gets through will take on Breiðablik or Budućnost Podgorica in the Europa Conference League third qualifying round.
