De Ketelaere like Bergkamp: “It will be a regret for Milan “
Today closes the return of the second qualifying round of the Conference League, a competition won in the first edition by Roma and then by West Ham, which got the better of Fiorentina in the final. Fiorentina will be able to try again this season, as it took over from Juventus, which was disqualified by UEFA.
The main candidates for victory include Spartak Trnava, Dinamo Tbilisi, Levski Sofia, Riga, Adana Demirspor and Legia Warsaw. Last edition’s semifinalist Basel is in danger of a resounding elimination after the first leg’s home defeat against Tobol. In this return leg it should at least avoid defeat in a game of at least two goals total, as two are the goals Basel must score to try to avoid elimination.
Other match predictions
Among the matches promising a high number of goals in this Thursday’s Conference League watch out for Lucerne-Djurgarden, Shamrock Rovers-Ferencváros, and AEK Larnaca-Torpedo. Among the possible matches with at least one goal per team look out instead for Borac Banja Luka-Austria Vienna and Shamrock Rovers-Ferencvarosi. Goals are also on the way in the luxury friendly involving Maurizio Sarri’s Lazio against Aston Villa.
