Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
David faces Goliath at Fortuna Arena as Slavia Prague and Ballkani go head to head in the Conference League group stages round 2. The Red and Whites dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Sivasspor, and, no doubt, they will give 100% to pick up all three points from Thursday’s clash. All Sor, Traore, Sevcik, Hovorka, Holes, Boril, and Eduardo Santos have been struggling through injuries of late, but head coach Jindrich Trpisovsky can count on key players for the Ballkani clash.
The visitors, on the other hand, kicked off their Conference League campaign with a 1-1 draw with Cluj, but given their display in a 2-0 loss to Drita, we believe that gamblers from all around the globe can find value in betting on the Czechs. Montenegro midfielder Edvin Kuc should miss out through injury for the away team.
