Maccabi Haifa and Torpedo BelAZ Zhodino are set to clash in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League 2025-26 second qualifying round on July 24, 2025, at 18:00 UTC. While originally scheduled for Torpedo Stadium in Zhodino, Belarus, the match will now take place at the neutral venue of Haladas Sportkomplexum in Hungary.
This relocation is likely due to UEFA regulations concerning geopolitical factors or stadium compliance, and it marks the first competitive meeting between these clubs in European competition.
The winners of this two-legged tie will progress to face the victors of the Rakow Częstochowa vs Zilina qualifier in the third qualifying round.
Maccabi Haifa Form And European Standing
Maccabi Haifa hold significant European experience, frequently featuring in UEFA competitions in recent years. The Israeli side secured direct qualification for this stage, having finished third in their domestic league.
The club experienced a recent dip in form, recording four losses across their last five fixtures. This includes a 2-0 defeat against Beitar Jerusalem in Toto Cup qualification. Their friendly matches also produced mixed performances, which highlights a struggle for consistency and defensive solidity. However, Maccabi Haifa’s attacking line continues to threaten, capable of unsettling even well-organised opponents.
Torpedo BelAZ Tactical Approach and Statistics
Torpedo BelAZ play an aggressive, attacking style of football, also showing reliable defensive performances at home. Key statistics underscore their scoring ability; they have scored in eight consecutive matches and averaged two goals per game in recent outings.
Conversely, Maccabi Haifa conceded in eight of their last nine matches, which raises questions about their defensive organisation.
Both clubs see this encounter as a critical opportunity. Progression in Europe offers a considerable boost, including financial and reputational benefits. A deep Conference League run holds considerable importance for both teams, potentially bringing added prestige and revenue.
