Parnu Rannastaadion will host the UEFA Conference League qualifying clash between Paide and Zira, with both sides looking to take an important step towards the next round. Paide advanced past Hegelmann in the first qualifying round without major problems, but they enter this match after a disappointing 5-2 defeat to Harju in the Estonian championship. Experienced striker Henri Anier will be the main threat for the hosts after scoring a brace at the weekend, and his goalscoring form will be crucial. Paide have been impressive in attack lately, scoring in each of their last ten matches, while their home performances have been solid with four wins from their previous five games on home soil. However, their defensive record remains a concern, as they have conceded in four of those five home fixtures.
Zira, meanwhile, made a strong statement in the opening Conference League qualifying round, comfortably eliminating Torpedo Kutaisi with a 6-0 aggregate victory. The Azerbaijani side looked particularly sharp in attack, with Eren Aydin emerging as a key player after scoring a brace in the 3-0 second-leg win. Despite their European success, Zira’s domestic form has been far from convincing, as they have won only three of their last ten matches and scored just 0.7 goals per game during that period. Their away attacking numbers are even more worrying, with Zira failing to score in 57% of their recent away matches.
Paide's form should help them edge a closely contested first leg. Therefore, Home Win should be considered, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (Paide’s last ten matches have averaged 3.2 goals per game, while Zira’s European tie against Torpedo produced six goals across two leg).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 17:00.
