Maccabi Tel Aviv faces Bologna at TSC Arena on January 29th in the UEFA Europa League. Bologna is in strong form, especially with a potent attack averaging 2 goals per game over their last five fixtures. Maccabi, however, has defensive issues conceding over 2 goals per match recently. Bologna’s squad, with experienced defenders and a balanced attack, looks poised to control the game. Injuries are minimal, with both sides holding their key players, but Bologna's recent form suggests they are more likely to secure a win or a draw given the current odds and trend.

Bologna comes into the match with a mostly fit squad, relying on their experienced defenders like Ł. Skorupski and Eduardo Holm, backed by a potent attacking line led by F. Bernardeschi and S. Castro. Maccabi Tel Aviv is dealing with minor squad rotation but retains its key attackers and the veteran goalkeeper R. Mishpati. Both teams are in good shape physically, emphasizing an open, attacking encounter.

If Bologna scores first in the UEFA Europa League match at TSC Arena, they are likely to consolidate their lead due to their in-form attack and Maccabi Tel Aviv's recent defensive vulnerabilities. A quick Bologna goal could shift the game to their favor, especially if Maccabi struggles to find an immediate response. If the match is level at half-time, expect Bologna's disciplined structure to maintain control, but Maccabi's home advantage might spark a late surge. Expect late drama with Bologna’s defensive resilience and Maccabi’s attacking attempts shaping the endgame.

Bologna’s disciplined 4-2-3-1 formation emphasizes solid defensive organization combined with a quick, direct transition to attack. Expect Bologna to press high and utilize quick counter-attacks, exploiting Maccabi's defensive lapses. Maccabi might seek to push high to compensate for their recent defensive issues, but this could open spaces for Bologna’s creative midfielders and attackers. Betting angles include Bologna’s ability to score and control possession, making the Over 1.5 Goals market a valuable consideration.
