Maccabi held the pre-match press conference at the DG Arena which was attended by Avi Rikan who after six years of European campaigns with Maccabi, said: “First and foremost we are not playing at home, so this will be different. We know that our opponents already played two official matches, while we are playing our first match so we will have to prepare ourselves for a tough match. Obviously we will have to try and get the best result and return home with a victory”
