    Maccabi Tel Aviv has a 17.875 club coefficient. They will start in the Champions League Second Qualifying Round and be seeded. They will be seeded in the Third Qualifying Round if they reach it. In the Second Qualifying Round they will face the champion of one of these 21 countries:

    Georgia
    Hungary
    Sweden
    Iceland
    Luxembourg
    Norway
    Wales
    Ireland
    Albania
    Estonia
    Macedonia
    Malta
    Bosnia-Herzegovina
    Northern Ireland
    Faroe Islands
    Lithuania
    Andorra
    Montenegro
    Armenia
    San Marino
    Gibraltar

    The opponent will have a club coefficient of 6.975 or lower. The draw for the first two qualifying rounds is on June 23.

    In the poll, CL means Champions League, EL means Europa League, and GS means Group Stage. I didn't make reaching the Round of 16 of the CL a choice because of how unlikely it is.

    According to the Bet365 odds, the probabilities for tomorrow's first leg at FC Santa Coloma are:

    FC Santa Coloma win: Exactly 10%
    Draw: Exactly 15%
    Maccabi Tel Aviv win: Exactly 75%

    Wikipedia says Maccabi Tel Aviv was supposed to host the first leg, but the order was switched due to the fighting in Gaza. Hopefully Israeli clubs don't lose the right to host games.

    NK Maribor won the second leg and the aggregate 2:0. I'm not confident Maccabi Tel Aviv will beat NK Maribor.
