Aston Villa vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Predictions, Tips & Latest Odds
Aston Villa will aim to climb into the top eight of the Europa League standings on Thursday evening as they welcome Maccabi Tel Aviv to Villa Park.
Unai Emery's side currently sit 10th in the table and know that a victory, combined with results elsewhere, could strengthen their bid to become one of the seeded teams advancing directly to the round of 16.
In contrast, Maccabi Tel Aviv find themselves down in 32nd place with just one point from three matches, and they face a tough challenge against a Villa team that has been in excellent form at Villa Park in recent weeks.
We've picked out three tips plus the best free bets ahead of Thursday's game.
Aston Villa vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Tips
Tip 1: Aston Villa to win & under 3.5 goals
Aston Villa to win & under 3.5 goals looks the standout play in this one.
Unai Emery's side have been consistent at home, winning four matches in a row at Villa Park, and they'll be aiming to produce a solid performance after their disappointing defeat to Go Ahead Eagles.
Despite that impressive run, Villa have only scored more than two goals once in their last 14 games across all competitions, highlighting their efficiency over entertainment value.
Maccabi Tel Aviv, meanwhile, have struggled badly in front of goal, scoring just once in their three Europa League matches so far this term.
However, their only away outing to date did end in a clean sheet, highlighting their defensive setup and intent to frustrate stronger opponents.
Villa should have too much quality at both ends of the pitch, but this is likely to be a professional, low-scoring victory rather than a rout.
A low-scoring home win appears to be the most probable outcome - Villa to win and under 3.5 goals looks a solid bet.
Tip 2: Matty Cash to have 2 or more shots
Matty Cash has registered 20 shots in 17 appearances for Aston Villa and Poland this season, underlining his attacking influence from right-back.
The Villa defender has managed two or more attempts in three of his last four starts, including tough fixtures against Liverpool and Tottenham, highlighting his contribution in the final third.
Facing a Maccabi side that has conceded 36 shots in their three Europa League matches to date, Cash looks overpriced to register at least two attempts on Thursday evening.
Tip 3: Matty Cash to score the first goal
And Cash also looks overpriced to open the scoring at Villa Park.
As low as 10/1 in places, the 20/1 with BetMGM looks excellent value when taking into account his recent form.
He scored the only goal of the game in Villa's recent 1-0 victory over Manchester City and also hit the post in their 2-0 loss to Liverpool at the weekend.
