Prediction: 1-0
Dudelange
After failing to beat Spartak Trnava in the Champions League qualifiers, Legia Warszawa will be looking to give fans some cheer when they take on F91 Dudelange in the Europa League third qualifying round. The Polish side will be without Vesovic and Antolic in Thursday’s football match as the duo was sent off in the Champions League clash against Spartak Trnava, but the hosts are definitely capable of beating the Luxembourg outfit at their Stadion Miejski. F91 Dudelange aim to claim yet another major scalp in the Europa League qualifiers, but seeing that Legia are regarded as good hosts, we predict the visitors are going to return to Luxembourg empty-handed. Jose Kante, who scored nine goals for Wisla Plock in the Polish elite division last term, will be one of the men to watch in the home side and he is likely to prove a handful for the opposition defenders.
Highlighted Player (Chris Philipps):
Born in Luxembourg City on March 8, 1994, Chris Philipps is a professional footballer who plays for Ligue 1 side Metz. Philipps made 39 appearances for Metz B before making his debut to the first team on May 23, 2013 in a 1-0 loss to Boulogne.
The Luxembourg international signed a loan deal with SC Preusen Munster in 2015 and it has to be noted that he played 25 games for the German side in the league. Chris Philipps made his debut for Luxembourg national football team on February 29, 2012 in a 2-1 win over Macedonia. His main position is defensive midfield, but he is used as a centre-back as well.
Chris Philipps, whose contract with Metz should expire in June 2018, made only 11 appearances for les Grenats in the 2016/2017 Ligue 2 campaign, but, no doubt, he helped the club secure promotion to the French top flight.
Highlighted Team (Legia Warsaw):
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.
