Prediction: 4-1
Aktobe
Legia and Aktobe square off against each other at Stadion Wojska Polskiego in the closing match of Thursday’s program in the Europa League qualifiers. Legia enjoyed a very successful 2024/2025 Conference League campaign, with the team making it to the quarter-finals of the competition, but Premier League giants Chelsea proved to be a big catch for Wojskowi. As club chiefs managed to keep hold of key players in the summer transfer window, including Spanish attacker and top scorer Marc Gual, home win should be considered.
Aktobe, on the other hand, have been handed a tough draw in round 1 and with Legia turning their Stadion Wojska Polskiego into a real fortress, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. Legia had no trouble eliminatin Aktobe when the two sides clashed in the 2014 Europa League qualifiers, and we expect a similar outcome this time around.
Highlighted Team (Legia):
Legia is a football club based in Warsaw and it is one of the most successful sides in Polish history. The Militarians – as they are commonly referred to in Poland – have won 11 Ekstraklasa Championship title, while they also hold the record-18 Polish Cup trophies and four Polish SuperCup matches.
Founded as the main official football club of the Polish Army, Legia Warsaw are playing theirhome matches at the Polish Army Stadium which can accommodate 31,000 people. Legia have endured mixed fortunes at the international scene with the Polish giants regularly participating in Europa League, with four group inclusions over the last six years. The Militarians headed into the 2016-17 season feeling buoyed and motivated having succeeded in ending the 20-year Champions League wait, becoming the first Polish team to take part in Europe’s elite competition over the last two decades.
The 3-1 aggregate playoff victory over Irish Dundalk earned them a place in the final showpiece with Legia being thrown into a heavy mix with the likes of Sporting CP, Borussia Dortmund and European champions Real Madrid.
