Prediction: 1-2
Legia
There will be fireworks when Aktobe and Legia lock horns at Koblandy Batyr Stadium in the Europa League first qualifying round, return leg. Aktobe played above expectations in the first leg, with the team conceding only one goal on a tough away trip. The hosts now face the challenge of overturning the narrow deficit at home. Midfielder Danijar Usenov is in line for a recall to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the first leg.
Legia, on the other hand, did well to beat Lech Poznan in the Polish Super Cup at the weekend, meaning that they are brimming with confidence ahead of the trip to Kazakhstan. With the Wojskowi looking strong on the break, we predict that the visitors are going to emerge triumphant in the second leg. Both Claude Goncalves and Ruben Vinagre are out of contention with injuries for 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.
