Football - Conference League

The match
The first round of the Europa Conference League qualifiers sees Finnish side Inter Turku face off against Kosovan side Drita Football Club at the Veritas Stadion in Turku. The Veikkausliiga in Finland is in full swing and the hosts come into this match sitting in fifth-place with a 5-3-5 record. They’ll be hoping to get back to winning ways after a 2-1 defeat to FC Lahti in their last fixture, a result which ended a good run of form that saw Turku win three of the last four matches. Sinimustat were bounced out of last year’s Conference League qualifiers at the same stage after falling to Puskas Academy. Inter Turku’s best ever finish in a UEFA competition was when they made it to the third qualifying round of the Europa League in the 2010/11 campaign.
The visiting Drita finished second in the Kosovo Superliga last season and missed out on lifting the Kosovo Cup after falling 2-1 to KF Llapi in the final, which was their last competitive fixture. Drita has picked up some momentum in their three friendly matches in the buildup to this match, drawing the first and winning the next two. Intelektualët will certainly be the better rested of the two sides but could suffer from a lack of competitive matches when they come up against opponents who are right in the middle of their season. We should see an improved performance from the hosts who are returning home and will be expecting to bounce back after an away defeat. Turku has been solid at the Veritas Stadion with a 3-2-2 league record along with 15 goals scored and nine conceded.Key Statistics
- Both teams have scored in four of Turku’s last five matches.
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in four of Drita’s last five matches.
- Turku are averaging 2.14 goals scored and 1.29 goals conceded at home this season.
The bet of our experts
We’re going to back Inter Turku to get the job done in the first leg and win the match. While they are at a rest disadvantage, their players will be match-fit and up to speed due to their season having already been underway for a while. The visitors, on the other hand, will be playing their first competitive fixture since losing in the final of their domestic cup more than one month ago. Back the hosts to get the win here and put themselves in a strong position to advance to the second qualifying round.
