Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Hacken
Match Time & Date:
21 August 2025
18:00
Prediction: 2-1
Cluj
Hacken will try to recover from a 2-0 loss to Oster when they welcome Cluj to their Bravida Arena in the Conference League playoffs, first leg. Hacken failed to eliminate Brann in the Europa League third qualifying round, but their display in the 1-0 win in Norway must be fuelling fans with optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. All Abrahamsson, Hammar, Laursen, Vaisanen, and Wembangomo are expected to miss out with injuries for the home side.
The Romanian outfit, on the other hand, were handed a tough draw in the Europa League third qualifying round, with the team failing to shock Primeira Liga side Braga. As Cluj are not regarded as good travellers, we predict that Hacken are going to emerge triumphant in Thursday’s clash. The likes of Kamara, Muhar, Omeruo, and Paun are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
