Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Aktobe and Sarajevo square off against each other at Koblandy Batyr Stadium in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Thursday’s program. Aktobe aim to recover from the Kazakhstan League Cup defeat to Tobol and they are seen as slim favourites to win the first leg. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but midfielder Alim Abatay could sneak into the starting XI.
The Bosnians, on the other hand, are eyeing their first ever win in the Conference League qualifiers, but beating the Kazakhs on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in the first leg. It has to be noted that the likes of Filip Jovic, Aleksandar Djordjevic, Emil Rockov, Nermin Mujkic, Andreja Ristic, Momodou Jatta, and Vladan Bubanja have joined the Maroon-Whites in the summer transfer window.
