Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Stadion pod Bijelim Brijegom will host Thursday’s football game between Zrinjski and Legia, the two teams who are level on points in Group E. Zrinjski did well to record a come-from-behind win over AZ Alkmaar in their opener, while suffering an unlucky defeat to Aston Villa in their second group game. The Bosnian outfit are tough to beat at home; therefore, we are positive that they are going to grab something from Thursday’s encounter. Defender Marin Magdic continues to miss out with injury for the home team.
The Poles, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to AZ Alkmaar. Legia, though, are on a four-game losing run in all competitions and we do not believe that they are capable of collecting more than one point from the trip to Mostar. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Legia):
Legia is a football club based in Warsaw and it is one of the most successful sides in Polish history. The Militarians – as they are commonly referred to in Poland – have won 11 Ekstraklasa Championship title, while they also hold the record-18 Polish Cup trophies and four Polish SuperCup matches.
Founded as the main official football club of the Polish Army, Legia Warsaw are playing theirhome matches at the Polish Army Stadium which can accommodate 31,000 people. Legia have endured mixed fortunes at the international scene with the Polish giants regularly participating in Europa League, with four group inclusions over the last six years. The Militarians headed into the 2016-17 season feeling buoyed and motivated having succeeded in ending the 20-year Champions League wait, becoming the first Polish team to take part in Europe’s elite competition over the last two decades.
The 3-1 aggregate playoff victory over Irish Dundalk earned them a place in the final showpiece with Legia being thrown into a heavy mix with the likes of Sporting CP, Borussia Dortmund and European champions Real Madrid.
