Maccabi Tel Aviv will aim to complete the task and reach the Conference League Quarter Final for the first time in the club’s history as Robbie Keane’s side have a 4-1 lead from the first leg in Athens. Maccabi host Olympiacos at the TSC Arena in Backa Topola (22:00) as the players and coaching staff arrived at Ben Gurion Airport ahead of the their flight to Belgrade. Earlier this morning the team held their final practice session at Kiryat Shalom and just like Olympiacos will hold the pre-match press conference at the team Hotel in Novi Sad.
An Eran Zahavi brace and goals from Ido Shahar and Dor Peretz gave Maccabi a 4-1 advantage in Piraeus last week, but despite the three goal cushion a place in Friday’s Quarter Final has yet to be secured.
