Ultimately aiming for another shot at the Champions League group stage, Maccabi Haifa continue their qualification campaign for the 2023-24 edition on Tuesday, when they host Hamrun Spartans at Sammy Ofer Stadium.

After beating Italian giants Juventus last year, Haifa have ambitions of being one of the of 32 teams to battle it out again this autumn; and after taking in a four-goal lead in last week's first leg, they already have one foot in the second qualifying round.

Following trouble both in the stands and on the pitch last week, Hamrun are likely to experience more of the latter when they reconvene with Maccabi Haifa in Israel. While their hosts may take the opportunity to rotate their resources and experiment, there is still a gulf in class between the two sides which surely cannot be bridged.

海法马卡比的最终目标是再次进入欧冠小组赛阶段，他们将在周二继续他们2023-24赛季的资格赛，届时他们将在萨米奥弗球场迎战哈姆伦斯巴达队。

在去年击败意大利豪门尤文图斯之后，海法有雄心成为今年秋天再次争夺冠军的32支球队之一;在上周首回合取得4球领先后，他们已经在第二轮预选赛中迈出了一步。

继上周在看台和球场上的麻烦之后，哈姆伦在以色列与海法马卡比的比赛中可能会经历更多的麻烦。虽然他们的东道主可能会借此机会轮换资源并进行试验，但双方之间仍然存在着阶级鸿沟，这肯定是无法弥合的。
