Our prediction for this Europa Conference League match:
Thursday’s football game at Urartu Stadium pits together Urartu and Tallinna Kalev, the two sides who are eyeing a spot in the Conference League second qualifying round. The Armenians won the first leg 2-1, but their job is only half done. Edgar Movsesyan, who scored a brace in the first leg, is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line, while there are no fresh injury worries in Dmitry Gunko’s team.
The Estonians, on the other hand, face a difficult challenge in the reverse fixture as they need to overcome a one-goal deficit on the road. As Tallinna Kalev experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the first leg, anything but a routine home win would be a big shock. Both Shevyakov and Sinilaid are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, with Teniste and Svedovski potentially dropping to the bench.
