Aston Villa vs Maccabi Tel Aviv: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds today

Much has been made of whether visiting supporters would be allowed to make the trip to Birmingham, with West Midlands Police ruling that the fixture was too high-risk, and as such, Maccabi fans would not be able to attend.

That decision sparked widespread criticism, even from Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

It led to calls for the decision to be overturned and for tickets to be released, but Maccabi announced that they would not take up any of their allocation should fans be allowed to attend, due to “a toxic atmosphere being created which makes the safety of our fans wishing to attend very much in doubt”.

On the pitch, Unai Emery’s Villans are out to right the wrongs of their defeat last time out, as they were stunned by Eredivisie side Go Ahead Eagles.

Before that game, Villa had gone two wins from two, beating Bologna and Feyenoord, but they now find themselves 10th in the league table.

As for Maccabi, the Israeli side are yet to win a game in the league phase proper.

They overcame Dynamo Kyiv in the qualifying play-off to reach the main draw, but a stalemate with PAOK as well as 3-1 and 3-0 defeats at the hands of Dinamo Zagreb and Midtjylland has seen them tumble to 32nd in the table.

Aston Villa vs Maccabi Tel-Aviv is scheduled for an 8pm GMT kick-off today, Thursday, November 6, 2025.

The match will take place at Villa Park.

TV channel: In the UK, the game will be televised live on TNT Sports 2, with coverage starting at 7.45pm GMT.

Live stream: TNT Sports subscribers can also catch the contest live online via the Discovery+ app and website.

Emery has four players that he hopes can make a return to action here.

Harvey Elliott missed out on the defeat at Liverpool due to not being able to face his parent club, while midfielder Youri Tielemans was also sidelined. The Belgian is back in training and could make his comeback.
