Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Antwerp and Drita take on each other in a David-vs-Goliath clash in the Conference League second qualifying round, first leg. Antwerp impressed in pre-season, with the team beating all Dynamo Kiev, Salzburg, Mechelen, and lower-league side Hoogstraten, and they must be high on confidence ahead of Thursday’s clash. The Jupiler League outfit aim to get their job done in the first leg, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against Drita.
A man to watch in the home team will be new signing Vincent Janssen, who joined the club from Monterrey in the summer transfer window. Keep in mind that the club chiefs signed experienced centre-back Toby Alderweireld as well. The Kosovars, on the other hand, eliminated Inter Turku in the first qualifying round, but Antwerp are likely to pose a much bigger threat for Ardian Nuhiu’s troops than their previous rivals.
