Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
After shocking Dinamo Tbilisi in the Conference League first qualifying round, Paide did well to hold Ararat-Armenia to a goalless draw in the first leg of round 2. The Estonians have been performing above expectations in the new UEFA competition, but Thursday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Head coach Karel Voolaid is unlikely to make changes to the team that shared the spoils with Ararat-Armenia in the first leg as he has no fresh injury worries.
The Armenians, on the other hand, had no more than one shot on target in the first leg, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on under 2.5 goals. Yet another close encounter is on the horizon, and, taking everything into account, we predict that the winner will be decided after extra-time.
