Aston Villa vs Maccabi Tel-Aviv Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Europa League 2025-26

This is going to be the first-ever outing between these two clubs.

Aston Villa are all set to host Maccabi Tel-Aviv for their round 4 league phase fixture of the UEFA Europa League 2025-26 edition. Villa Park will witness this interesting contest between these sides.

The Unai Emery-led side will be at home, and it is going to be a big advantage for them. They faced a shocking defeat at the hands of Go Ahead Eagles in their previous European competition fixture. The Villans will be looking for a win here, and a different approach might get them close to one.

Maccabi Tel-Aviv are yet to secure a win in the UEFA Europa League this season. In their first three games, they have lost two, while one of their matches ended in a draw. The Israeli Premier League side have been performing well domestically, but they need to step up their game here.

Players to Watch

John McGinn (Aston Villa)

The 31-year-old is going to play an important role both in the midfield and the attacking front for the Villans. John McGinn has scored two goals in three Europa League matches. He can control the midfield well and can score goals as well.

McGinn is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.

Dor Peretz (Maccabi Tel-Aviv)

Dor Peretz will be one of the most crucial assets for the visitors in the attacking front. He will be looking to step up his game so that he can help Maccabi Tel-Aviv stand a chance against Aston Villa. Even though he is yet to score a goal in the UEL this season, Peretz is going to cause issues for the opponents.
