Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Villarreal Predictions

• Maccabi Tel Aviv haven’t won consecutive home games in this competition in seven years
• Only Sevilla (42) have claimed more Europa League wins since 2009 than Villarreal (41)
• Villarreal have won all three group games so far this term

Spaniards to continue perfect start

A win for Maccabi Tel Aviv would see them win consecutive home matches in the UEFA Europa League for the first time since December 2013. However, they have a huge task on their hands to pull that off.

Villarreal have won 41 Europa League games  since the competition was renamed in 2009. A victory in this clash would see them match the tally of tournament kings Sevilla. The Spaniards have boosted that with great displays this season, claiming three wins from three.

Villarreal won 4-0 in the reverse meeting, taking them up to 12 goals in three group games. Seven different Villarreal players have chipped in to that tally. They clearly have the resources to go far in this competition and we’re backing them to take the points in this clash in a 2-0 victory.
