Head to Head

These two teams have locked horns only once so far.

That duel was won by Villarreal 2-1 in early November.

Villarreal Form

Villarreal already clinched playoffs in the Europa League after grabbing nine points from four rounds so far, but will be aiming to win Group F.

They started the competition with a surprising 2-0 loss to Panathinaikos but bounced back and won three in a row against Rennes 1-0, Maccabi Haifa 2-1 and Panathinaikos 3-2.

The Yellow Submarine has also been in decent shape in La Liga recently, beating Osasuna 3-1 in late November, and holding Sevilla to a 1-1 draw last weekend.

Villarreal Team News

Yeremy Pino, Denis Suarez and Alexander Sorloth are injured.

Maccabi Haifa Form

Maccabi Haifa have lost their chance to compete for the top two spots in Group F a long time ago. They are sitting at the bottom of the table with just one point from four matches.

Maccabi Haifa lost to Rennes 3-0 (two times) and Villarreal 2-1, while winning their only point at home against Panathinaikos 0-0.

Their recent form in the Israeli Ligat ha’Al has been decent, beating Hapoel Beer Sheva 1-0 and Hapoel Petah Tikva 2-1 at home.

Sun Menahem, Dolev Haziza, Erik Shuranov and Shon Goldberg are injured.

Verdict

Villarreal v Maccabi Haifa

Villarreal have been scoring and conceding a lot of goals across competitions recently, so I will go with over 2.5 goals as the best bet here. Over 3.5 goals is value.
