Maccabi Haifa vs PSG is one of the clashes on the line-up for Wednesday 14 September in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Just by the names in the Parisian squad alone, this could be considered a clash between a weak team and a strong team, as at least on the first day of the group stage they made it look that way.
PSG started their journey in this 2022-23 season with a victory, while the Israelis lost in their debut in the competition.

The Israeli team was unable to continue its good form in Matchday 1 as it lost 2-0 to Benfica.

Absences: No report.
Probable lineup: Josh Cohen; Daniel Sundgren, Dylan Batubinsika, Abdoulaye Seck, Shon Goldberg; Tjaronn Chery, Maor Levi, Ali Mohamed; Dean David, Frantzdy Pierrot, Dolev Haziza.
PSG Preview
Lionel Messi, Neymar, Kylian Mbappé and company come into this match unbeaten in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League in this 2022-23 season, with a combined unbeaten record of eight matches in these competitions.
PSG kicked off this new edition of Europe’s top club competition with a 2-1 win over Juventus, with Mbappé scoring both goals.
There is no previous record against this opponent, but based on what both teams showed in their first matches, this is an important opportunity for the Parisian team to get three points and take over first place in the group.
Absences: No report.
Probable lineup: Gianluigi Donnarumma; Achraf Hakimi, Sergio Ramos, Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes; Marco Verratti, Vitinha; Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Neymar.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite the fact that the match will be played on Israeli land, PSG is anticipated to win by a large margin due to roster and, more importantly, performance differences.
Prediction: PSG win 4-0.
