Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Apollon’s pride will be at stake when they take on fellow Group E strugglers Vaduz on Thursday evening. The Cypriotes are eyeing their second win of the process, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach against Vaduz. Keep in mind, though, that Lebanon forward Bassel Zakaria Jradi misses the match through suspension. The visitors, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-1 loss to AZ Alkmaar.
Alessandro Mangiarrati’s men are desperate to register their first win of the process, and seeing that both sides will be with guards down in Thursday’s showdown, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on over 2.5 goals. Both Fuad Rahimi and Sandro Wieser remain in the recovery room, while Fejad Djokic should be recalled to the starting XI, speaking of the away side.
Highlighted Player (Recio):
Recio is a Spanish footballer who was born in Malaga on January 11, 1991. Recio is a product of his home-town club Malaga and he has been playing for los Boquerones at senior level since 2010. The right-footed midfielder spent the 2013/2014 La Liga season on loan at Granada and he returned to Malaga at the end of the campaign.
It has to be noted that he scored four goals in 45 appearances for los Granadinos in the Spanish top flight. Recio made only 18 appearances for Malaga in La Liga in the 2016/2017 season, scoring three goals in the process, while providing two assists for his teammates.
Speaking of his international career, the midfielder made his debut with Spain U21 team on March 24, 2011 in a friendly against France. To make things even better for him, Recio represented Spain at the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Colombia later that year, making four appearances for La Roja at the showpiece tournament. Recio’s main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing a defensive midfielder as well.
