Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Haka play host to Crusaders at their Tehtaan Kentta in the first leg of the Conference League first qualifying round. Haka do not seem to be at the top of their game in the Veikkausliiga, with the team recording their last league win back in May 9, but the bookies still see them as favourites to beat the Northern Ireland outfit in front of home fans.
A man to watch in the home team will be forward Stavros Zarokostas, who scored a brace in a 2-2 draw with Inter Turku. Crusaders, meanwhile, defeated Larne 2-0 in the Charity Shield, meaning that they are high on confidence ahead of the trip to Finland. Home win, though, should be considered as Haka will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be captain Billy Joe Burns.
