Legia
Match Time & Date:

18:00
Prediction: 2-0
Drita
Legia and Drita take on each other at Stadion Wojska Polskiego in the opening match of Thursday’s program in the Conference League. Legia are seen as hot favourites to win the first leg, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Slovenia forward Blaz Kramer is widely expected to return to the starting XI following his excellent performance in a 4-1 win over Radomiak Radom, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Drita, on the other hand, survived Auda in their Conference League third qualifying round, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Legia, who are a real force to be reckoned with at home. In their last meeting in a competitive match, back in 2020, Legia defeated Drita 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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.
