Four days after the victory over Maccabi Haifa at Teddy stadium and five days before facing Beitar Jerusalem at the same venue, Maccabi turn their attention to the Europa League as they host Spanish side Real Sociedad in Belgrade. Before leaving for Ben Gurion airport and jetting out to Belgrade where they will host the match at the Partizan stadium, the team held a final practice session at the training complex in Kiryat Shalom.
Maccabi’s Head Coach, Zarko Lazetic’ will seek to collect the first points in the inaugural league phase following the defeats on MD1 away to Sporting Braga and MD2 at home to FC Midtjylland. Thursday’s opponents Real Sociedad are also seeking the first victory after being held to a 1-1 draw by Nice and suffering a 2-1 defeat to Anderlecht.
