Zilina will look to recover from their Europa League elimination at the hands of Hajduk Split when they welcome GKS Katowice to Slovakia in the first leg of the Conference League second qualifying round. The Slovak outfit can take plenty of positives from the tie, having defeated Hajduk 2-1 on home soil before suffering a 2-0 loss in Croatia. Zilina have been much stronger in front of their own supporters lately, winning three of their last five home matches, and they will once again rely on Marko Roginic, who found the net in the memorable home victory over Hajduk Split.
GKS Katowice, meanwhile, head into Thursday's clash in high spirits after an encouraging preseason campaign. The Polish side looked sharp in attack throughout their warm-up matches and will be hoping to carry that momentum into their European adventure. While Katowice have struggled to win away from home recently, they have still averaged two goals per match over their last ten outings. Men to watch in the away team will be Eman Markovic and Bartosz Nowak, with both players expected to play key roles in the final third.
Zilina have been far more convincing at home and already proved their quality with a victory over Hajduk Split in the Europa League qualifiers. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside Zilina Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Zilina and GKS Katowice have been involved in high-scoring games recently, averaging 3.0 and 3.5 total goals per match respectively).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 19:30.
