Bologna F.C.

Preview

Maccabi Tel-Aviv

• Maccabi Tel-Aviv have lost all three of their home games in the UEFA Europa League 2025-2026, conceding 4.00 goals per game on average and scoring just 0.33 goals per game.
• The Israeli side are coming into this game under caretaker management after a disappointing derby loss at Hapoel Tel-Aviv, while Bologna will be looking to send a message to the rest of the competition with an away performance.
• Maccabi Tel-Aviv’s run of three defeats in a row, the latest of which was a 1-0 defeat at SC Freiburg, was enough to cost Zarko Lazetic his job as coach.
• U19 boss Dan Roman has taken over for this game, but he may not have the experience or the time to significantly change Tel-Aviv’s approach to this matchup.
• Maccabi will line up in a typically pragmatic 4-2-3-1, where they will look to use their pace on the wings, set pieces and compact structure to contain the more illustrious Bologna side.

Bologna F.C.

• Bologna F.C. have won two of their three away games in the competition, conceding an average of just 1.00 goal per match.

• They’re dangerous on the flanks with attacking width.
