We can expect an active and productive attacking game from the Belarusians in this encounter. Despite only achieving one victory in their last four home matches in the Europa Conference League, Torpedo-BelAZ has scored seven goals during this period. Furthermore, the team has managed to score ten times in their last three home matches in the Belarusian Championship.

The club has failed to keep a clean sheet in nine away matches in this European competition, conceding at least two goals in four of those matches. Additionally, Maccabi recently played their first official match of the current season, conceding two goals against Beitar in the Israeli Cup.
I anticipate an effective offensive performance from the Belarusians, so my prediction: Torpedo-BelAZ Individual Total Over 1
