Latest football commentary on Aston Villa vs Maccabi Tel Aviv
After beating Bologna and Feyenoord in their opening two Europa League games, Aston Villa's winning run in the group stage came to a disappointing end two weeks ago, when they lost 2-1 away to Go Ahead Eagles despite leading by a goal.
Unai Emery's side bounced back with a 1-0 win over Manchester City in the Premier League just days later, but individual errors saw them suffer a 2-0 defeat to reigning champions Liverpool over the weekend. The result left the West Midlands side in 11th place in the table, but just four points behind second place.
Before facing Bournemouth on Sunday, Aston Villa will play their fourth Europa League match against Maccabi Tel Aviv — which also marks Unai Emery's third anniversary as manager. In 154 games as manager, he has won 82, drawn 29 and lost 43, giving him a win rate of 53.25%.
Regarded as a disciplined and well-organized coach, Emery is calling on his players to “regain structure” and “be more effective in finishing.” Villa fans are also hoping striker Ollie Watkins will soon regain his form, as his expected goals (xG) after 10 Premier League games is only 1.74.
Villa return to action on Thursday at home — where they have lost just one of their last 27 games in all competitions (W19 D7). That defeat was a 0-3 defeat to Crystal Palace in August.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is one of seven teams in this year's Europa League that have yet to win a group stage match, with just one point from three matches and is currently 32nd out of 36 teams.
After holding PAOK to a 0-0 draw in the first round in Greece, the yellow team lost two consecutive "home" matches (playing in Serbia) against Dinamo Zagreb and Midtjylland, the most recent of which was a 0-3 defeat two weeks ago.
However, Maccabi Tel Aviv have been in very good form in the Israeli Premier League, having only lost 4 points after the first 9 rounds (7 wins, 2 draws). The 26-time Israeli champions just won 2-0 against Maccabi Bnei Reineh last weekend, continuing to close in on the top team Hapoel Be'er Sheva with only 1 point less.
This will be the fifth time Maccabi Tel Aviv have faced English sides, and they will be looking to end a 100% losing streak having previously lost both home and away to Chelsea and Stoke City, conceding 13 goals and scoring just once.
