Maccabi Haifa team news
Ali Mohamed is a doubt for Maccabi after he limped out of their Champions League defeat to Benfica. It also forced him to sit out the weekend win over Sekzia Ness Ziona. He will likely be replaced by Mohammed Abu Fani in midfield.
In attack, Suf Podgoreanu will miss out due to an Achilles injury, so Omer Atzili should get a Champions League recall.

PSG team news
Presnel Kimpembe will miss out for PSG, and that might not be a bad thing after his last performance. Kimpembe gave away a penalty before suffering a hamstring injury against Brest.
Renato Sanches will also miss out due to an adductor problem. However, PSG are well-stocked in midfield, and boss Christophe Galtier may consider bringing in Carlos Soler or Fabian Ruiz to rotate his squad a little.

Maccabi Haifa vs PSG prediction
It's difficult to imagine PSG losing this one given the sheer quality at their disposal. They are unlikely to be given it all their own way, though. After all, it's a big occasion for Maccabi Haifa and they will not be pushovers on their own park.
Ultimately, though, you have to expect quality to tell and PSG to come out relatively routine winners.
Prediction: Maccabi Haifa 0-3 PSG
