Maccabi Tel-Aviv vs Villarreal Preview

Maccabi Tel-Aviv have a shocking home record in their most recent games.

They have won just once since early August with a run of 3 draws and one loss.

They have showed some flashes of quality in those games but they seem to lack the big game mentality that can help them win a game of this nature.

Villarreal will be looking for a positive result from this game following their recent poor run of form.

The yellow submarines have lost 1 and drawn 1 of their last two matches.

They followed a disappointing 0-0 home draw to Espanyol with a shocking 4-0 loss away to Getafe.

These results ended their three games winning streak – they will fancy their chances against the Israelis who are also struggling at home currently.

Villarreal seem to struggle when they play away from home but they could be afforded enough chances to get a win in this game.
