The new season is kicking off for teams in the Europa League and Israeli giants Maccabi Tel Aviv will be hosting Albanian side KF Tirana in one of the matches in the first qualifying round, lined up for Thursday 29th June. Both sides have not been at their best in their past few matches and will be hoping this is a fine platform to launch their campaigns. Hosts Maccabi lost their last three matches of the past season but won their last home game and will be hoping the home advantage will provide the right inspiration for this clash. They head to the game on the back of a win, a draw and three losses. The same is their case at home in the last five matches; a draw, a win and three losses, scoring five and conceding five. Their recent run is not a factor of their past 21 home matches cumulatively – the team has suffered just three losses in the last 21 matches at home, but has had just four wins in the last 10 games home and away. Tirana on the other hand, head to the game on a slightly better run, having managed three wins, a draw and a loss in their last five matches. Their worst nightmare though, is in their away run; the Albanian side has managed just one win in their last 16 away matches. They have registered a win, a draw and three losses in the last five away matches, scoring four goals in the process, and conceding eight. This being the first meeting between the two sides, they will be looking to commence the Europa League campaign with a bang.
