Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Stadionul Zimbru will host Thursday’s Conference League game between Petrocub and Sabah Baku, the two teams that meet for the first time in European competitions. Petrocub did well to overcome a one-goal deficit in the double-header with Birkirkara, with the team rolling over the Maltese outfit 3-0 in the reverse fixture, but they do now want to stop now. With no fresh injury worries to report, head coach Shota Makharadze is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed Birkirkara. The Azeri, on the other hand, were eliminated by Celje after extra-time in the Europa League first qualifying round. As the visitors are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Zimbru, we are tempted to place our bets on the Moldovan outfit this time out. A man to watch in the away team will be Uzbekistan international Uranali Rakhmonaliyev, who scored a brace in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Celje a week ago.
