Villarreal will be looking to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages of this season’s Europa League alive when they play host to Israeli side Maccabi Haifa on Wednesday night.
The hosts didn’t start their Europa League journey as they had hoped, despite being expected to top Group F. Juan José Rojo Martín’s team suffered a 0:2 loss to Panathinaikos in their opening match but recovered to claim victories in their next three games. Despite these wins, the Yellow Submarines remain three points adrift of group leaders Rennes, who have one more game under their belt. A win for Villarreal on Wednesday could lead to a crucial showdown with Rennes in just over a week, as they are set to face each other on the final matchday of the group stage.
Meanwhile, Maccabi Haifa is striving to secure a win in the 2023-24 Europa League group stage. They kicked off the competition with a loss to Rennes in France, followed by a nil-all draw against Panathinaikos on their home ground. After suffering two consecutive losses, including a 1-2 defeat to Villarreal at home last month, the Israeli team is currently at the bottom of the group. Messay Dego’s team is hopeful to turn the tide.
Villarreal vs Maccabi Haifa Betting Tips: Both teams to score
In recent weeks, Villarreal’s defense has been inconsistent. The Yellow Submarines are heading into this week’s game with a streak of seven competitive games without a clean sheet. Bets on the “Both Teams To Score &— Yes” option have been successful in all these seven games.
Maccabi Haifa has only managed to score one goal in their four Group F games to date, however, their performance in the Europa League away games has been commendable. The Israeli team has managed to score at least one goal in seven out of their eight away games in the Europa League, with both teams scoring in an equal number of these matches.

This week, Villarreal coach Marcelino García Toral will not be able to count on Yéremy Pino due to injury.
