On Thursday, January 29, the match of the 8th round of the Europa League between “Maccabi Tel Aviv” and “Bologna” will take place. The game will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Maccabi Tel Aviv

The defense of the title of champion of Israel is not going well for the club. For 20 rounds of the national league, “Maccabi” managed to score only 36 points, which allow them to occupy the 3rd step of the tournament table. The distance to the leader, “Beitar”, is already quite serious – 10 points. In the Israel Cup, the team reached the quarterfinals, where they will play against Maccabi Jaffa.

In the Europa League, the Israelis show absolutely disastrous results. For 7 rounds, the team was able to score only 1 point, which is why it occupies the last, 36th place in the tournament table. It is obvious that the club no longer has a chance for the playoffs.

Bologna

The Italians are not showing great results either – after 22 Serie A matches, they have 30 points on their account, which allows them to occupy the 8th place in the tournament table. However, even from the top 6, the team is separated by 10 points. In the Italian Cup, the team qualified for the quarterfinals, where they will play against Napoli.

For 7 rounds of the Europa League, the Italians were able to win 12 points, which now allow them to be on the 15th step of the tournament table. The team has already secured participation in the playoffs, but it is separated by 2 points from the top 8 (which gives the right to play in the 1/8).
