Speaking at the teams' base in Podgorica ahead of Thursday's return leg against Mogren FK as part of the Europa League third qualifying round, Maccabi Paygea Tel Aviv coach Yossi Mizrahi told the club's official website: "we have one clear task and that is to qualify for the next stage whilst looking good on the pitch and amid the difficult pitch and weather conditions".
Maccabi, which carries a 2-goal-lead from the first leg having beaten the Montenegro side 2-0 at Bloomfield stadium last week, reflected on the task at hand: "I have no doubt that the boys will do everything possible to achieve this task. Our opponents (Mogren) are set to play completely different then the first leg and benefit from hosting and the home fans. We will be forced to adjust ourselves to this style of play and know how to advance through".

The team held its final practice session at the Montenegro national training complex in Podgorica and will remain in the capital before for the Gradski stadium in Niksic (kickoff at 17:30 CET).
