Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Trnava play host to Newtown at their City Arena Trnava in the opening match of their Conference League qualifying campaign. The White Angels kicked off their Fortuna liga campaign with a 2-0 win over Z. Moravce-Vrable, meaning that they are high on confidence ahead of Thursday’s clash. North Macedonia international Milan Ristoski, who opened his goal-scoring account in the season opener, will be the man to keep an eye on in the home team.
Newtown, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Trnava by beating HB Torshavn in the double-header. The Welsh outfit aim to claim a major scalp in round 2, but given Trnava’s display in the triumph over Z. Moravce-Vrable, anything but a routine home win would be a major surprise. Newtown are not regarded as good travellers, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered.
