Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Dudelange and Lech Poznan go head to head at Stade Jos Nosbaum in the Conference League playoffs, second leg. Lech recorded a routine 2-0 win over Dudelange in Poland, and the visitors are now on a quest to defend their lead on the road. Even though defender Antonio Milic misses the reverse fixture through suspension, away win should be considered as Lech will have a number of opportunities to seal the victory on the break.
Dudelange, on the other hand, came from behind to beat Hostert 3-1 in the national championship, but they will have a mountain to climb in the return leg. Lech are more of a team than Dudelange; therefore, we predict that the Poles will advance to the Conference League group stages without any difficulties. There are no fresh selection worries in the home side.
Highlighted Player (Charles Morren):
Charles Morren is a Belgian footballer who plays for Luxembourg side Dudelange as a midfielder. Morren started his senior career at Lessines-Ollign and in July, 2014 he moved to fellow Belgian side Saint Gilloise. In 2019 he moved to F91 Dudelange and he has been playing for the most successful Luxembourg club ever since.
In the 2019/2020 season Charles Morren helped Dudelange book their place in the Europa League group stages as they outplayed Ararat-Armenia in the play-offs. It has to be noted that he made six appearances for Emilio Ferrera’s troops in the 2019/2020 Europa League qualifiers.
Dudelange were placed in group A alongside APOEL, Qarabag and Sevilla. Morren’s main position is defensive midfield, but he is used as a central midfielder as well. The Dudelange footballer has yet to make his debut with Belgium national team. His preferred foot is right.
