Maccabi Tel Aviv
LFF stadionas will host Thursday’s Europa League game between FK Panevezys and Maccabi Tel Aviv, the two teams who meet for the first time in European competitions. The Lithuanians failed to impress in the Champions League double-header with Jagiellonia and given their shaky defence, home win should not be considered. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team ahead of the visit of Maccabi.
The Israelis, on the other hand, aim to recover from the Champions League defeat to Steaua Bucharest. As the Yellows will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways, we are tempted to place our bets on the away team. Defender Idan Nachmias is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the 1-0 loss to FCSB. Former PSV striker is widely expected to lead the line for the Israelis.
Highlighted Team (Maccabi Tel Aviv):
Maccabi Tel Aviv are the oldest and probably the biggest clubs in Israel. The club was founded in 1906 and they have been playing an important role in the Israeli League ever since. In 2015 Maccabi won their 21st trophy in the national championship and the same season they clinched their 23rd Israeli Cup title.
The club’s fiercest rivals are Hapoel Tel-Aviv and they welcome their opponents at Netanya Stadium. The capacity of the venue is 13 610. The likes of Beitar Jerusalem Hapoel Be’er Sheva and Maccabi Haifa are considered Maccabi Tel Aviv’s bitter rivals as well. In 1969 the club won the AFC Champions League and they repeated the success two years later, beating Aliyat Al-Shorta in the final.
The likes of Jordi Cruyff, Paulo Sousa, Rade Prica, Moanes Dabour and Vincent Enyeama are the high-profile footballers who were part of the team in the past. The colour of Maccabi’s home kit is yellow and blue.
