Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Polissya Zhytomyr will be aiming to move one step closer towards the Conference League third qualifying round when they welcome FC Santa Coloma to their Futbal Tatran Arena on Thursday evening. Polissya have yet to kickstart the new Ukrainian Premier League campaign, meaning that the lack of competitive matches could prove to be a big problem for Ruslan Rotan’s troops. Anyhow, the hosts are seen as hot favourites to beat the Andorran outfit on neutral location (Slovakia).
FC Santa Coloma, on the other hand, did well to upset Borac Banja Luka in the first qualifying round and they are now on a quest to claim yet another major scalp in the qualifiers. The Andorrans, though, failed to impress in the second leg against Borac, losing 2-0 at home, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Polissya. Forward Hugo Ferreira Silva is banned for the away team, while Spanish defender Aleix Cistero is a major doubt.
