Prediction: 3-1
Ostrava
Stadion Wojska Polskiego will host Thursday’s Europa League game between Legia and Ostrava, the two teams that played out a 2-2 draw in Czech Republic in the first leg. Legia have a nice opportunity to book their spot in the third qualifying round, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for Edward Iordanescu’s charges. The Romanian tactician has a luxury to field the best possible side against Ostrava.
Meanwhile, the visitors suffered a 1-0 to Bohemians in their first away game of the new domestic campaign. Considering that Legia are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of claiming a major scalp in this double-header. The likes of Kohut, Frydek, Kubala, and Rusnak are out of contention for the visiting team, while David Buchta should be recalled to the starting XI.
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.
