Watch Maccabi Haifa vs. PSG: time, TV channel, live stream, lineups, and betting odds for Champions League 2022/23
The three-headed PSG attacking monster makes a trip east to face defending Israeli champions Maccabi Haifa in Champions League group stage play.
Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are in spectacular form, with 15 goals between them in Ligue 1 play. Meanwhile, Lionel Messi has contributed seven assists already, playing a quieter but equally important role.
PSG topped Juventus at home to open 2022/23 Champions League group stage play last week, and will look to add three more points with their first road test.
Maccabi Haifa fell at Benfica in their opener, making their first Champions League appearance in over a decade. The Israeli side is perfect to start domestic play this season, looking to reprise their eight-point title gap from a year ago.

Maccabi Haifa vs. PSG lineups, team news
American Josh Cohen remains the regular starter for Maccabi Haifa in goal and will be tested early and often against the world-class PSG attack. The team captain is 26-year-old Israeli midfielder Neta Lavi, who is a Maccabi Haifa lifer, having come through the club's youth system.
Forward Omer Atzili, who came off the bench against Benfica, started over the weekend in league play and bagged a brace, potentially earning a spot against PSG. Manager Barak Bakhar rested creative midfielder Tjaronn Chery over the weekend but he should return here.
The side could be without midfielder Ali Mohamed who came off injured in the 36th minute last week against Benfica. They're without Mahmoud Jaber who's missing with a broken leg.
Maccabi Haifa starting lineup (4-3-3): Cohen (GK) — Corund, Goldberg, Batubinsika, Sundgren — Abu Fani, Lavi, Chery — Haziza, Pierrot, Atzili.
PSG boss Christophe Galtier rested defender Marquinhos over the weekend against Brest in the 1-0 win, and he but he is ready to return and captain the side on the road.
Galtier made it clear against Juventus last week that he would not be tempted to slot Keylor Navas in goal for the European tournament, instead sticking with the in-form Gianluigi Donnarumma in net. The Italian goalkeeper stopped a penalty in the club's narrow win over the weekend. Navas isn't even included in the matchday squad.
The PSG manager, however, could be tempted to rotate the squad a bit against an opponent they're expected to beat, with Achraf Hakimi making way for new signing Nordi Mukiele to get minutes. At the other wing-back position, Nuno Mendes returns after being rested against Brest, making a 12-minute cameo off the bench to spell starter Juan Bernat.
PSG starting lineup (3-4-3): Donnarumma (GK) — Danilo, Marquinhos, Ramo — Nuno, Verratti, Vitinha, Mukiele — Neymar, Messi, Mbappe.
Maccabi Haifa vs. PSG betting pick & prediction
Odds via Caesars (USA), Sports Interaction (Canada), & SkyBet (UK).
PSG understandably are enormous favorites, with the French side bringing an all-time talented attack in stunning form, to Israeli minnows Maccabi Haifa. The spread is a whopping 2.5 goals, indicating bookmakers believe Maccabi Haifa will present little resistance.
It's hard to find betting openings in a match like this expected to be so lopsided, but the over total goals should profit, even as high as 3.5. The Maccabi defense has been poor this season despite a hot start for the team overall, struggling to keep clean sheets both domestically and in European play.
