Maccabi Tel Aviv and Villarreal you see the faces the postponed match from the third day of the UEFA Europa League group stage. The Castellón team seeks to get their qualification for the round of 16 on the track and to do so it must beat the Israeli team, who will not be able to play this match in their country because of the conflict between Israel and Palestine. This rivalry was recovered from the group stage of the second highest continental competition and Villarreal want to react after the defeat suffered in LaLiga EA Sports against Athletic Club (2-3).
For this reason, the Yellow Submarine technician, Package, is against the ropes. The name is considered Marcelino Garcia Toral to survive his second period on the ‘groguet’ bench. The only way to stop the bleeding is nothing but success, for this reason the Villarreal They know that the priority is to win this third game and enter the group stage. Then he will face the Maccabi again on La Cerámica Stadium on the fourth date, so he knows that this double confrontation is important for his interests.
One of the aspects that is undoubtedly the most concerning Villarreal This is the weakness of the defensive zone. The La Cerámica team He scored 21 goals in just 12 games in LaLiga, which represents its worst defensive record in its history. I have never had such a negative record of goals against the highest category of national football, at this stage of the development of the competition.
Pau Torres’ departure from Aston Villathe seniority of Raúl Albiol, the poor performance of Matteo Gabbia and a young man Jorge Cuenca, added to the inexperience of the goal Jorgensen (Gerónimo Rulli also left for Ajax in the last winter transfer window), they weakened the squad in a luxurious way. However, the offensive zone of Villarreal is still very good, plus Gerard Moreno as a star forward.
Alexander Sorloth He gives a great performance, to other people of great quality like Yeremy Pino or Alejandro Baena on the sides. Deep down, Dani Parejo and Ettiene Capoué they form a standard double pivot, with Manu Trigueros and Santi Comesañin (signed by Rayo Vallecano) of alternatives.
At this stage of the group, Villarreal lost the first game in the field of Panathinaikos (2-0), but won the second in French Rennes at El Estadio de La Cerámica (1-0). He has three points in his locker and he knows that he needs this victory to get some air in the group, in the atmosphere of the squad, and that Package can continue in the office.
