Match Overview
The Estadio de la Ceramica will play host to a fabulous game in the UEFA Europa League between Villarreal and Maccabi Haifa. The home team will feel that they can dominate proceedings but the defenders of the visiting side will not make it easy for them by any means. Villarreal's counter-attacking style of football will come in handy against the side from Israel.
Key Highlights
Villarreal, however, will be worried by the fact that they haven't kept a clean sheet in 7 matches. This fact will interest Maccabi Haifa for sure. The home team's defence has been breached time and again, and the visiting side will want to do it on Wednesday as well. Villarreal will have to impose themselves upon this game as soon as they possibly can.
Injury Report
Villarreal will have to make do without the services of Yeremi Pino and Denis Suarez among others whereas Maccabi Haifa do not have any of their players ruled out of this game.
Prediction
Villarreal appear to be the overwhelming favourites to win this game, especially since they are playing at home. When the two teams met earlier this year, in November, Villarreal ended up being victorious by a nice 2-1 scoreline. One can expect a similar result in this game as well. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game.
