Europa League Quali, 1st round, first leg, Thursday, 11.07.2024 at 20:30
While the 2024 European Championship is in its final stages, another competition is already getting underway.
Biała Gwiazda and Legjendat face each other in the Europa League qualifiers on Thursday evening. Or: Poland against Kosovo.
Find out who can prevail in this duel and secure a better starting position for the second leg in my Wisla Krakow Llapi betting tip
Of course, the European Championship was great, we were all amazed when Georgia suddenly turned on the heat or the Dutch bounced from left to right.
But club soccer has its very own charm, of course. Those early qualifiers for the UEFA competitions represent a subgenre of this once again.
Diving into the depths of, in this case, Polish and Kosovan club soccer – when else do you have the time?
In any case, Wisla Krakow and KF Llapi face each other in the first round. The conditions are just as clear as the roles of both teams
Because if we take a look at the bookmaker NEObet, we find the clearly better win predictions for the hosts.
The role of favorite even goes so far that we can also devote ourselves to other types of bets if the potential value is to be increased
If Biała Gwiazda wins by at least two goals, you’ll find odds of just over 2.70 at Bet365 Sportsbook.
However, this should be taken with a pinch of salt. Because the Poles were not one of the top teams in the past season
The White Star managed to qualify via the shortest possible route, namely by winning the Puchar Polski.
There is, of course, nothing wrong with that. However, it is a little strange why a mid-table team from the Polish league is now playing for a place in the Europa League.
The visiting Legjendat, on the other hand, are second in the table and have played a commanding series. They lost 1:0 to champions FC Ballkani shortly before the end of the season.
It was their only defeat in the final eight games of the previous season (5S, 2U). Will they get at least a draw this time?
At top bookmaker Sunmaker, you’ll find odds of around 2.10 on the double chance bets if you bet that the Kosovars won’t lose
One problem for the visitors, however, is the departure of Muhamet Hyseni. The striker was the key player for Legjendat in pre-season.
After 27 goals and seven assists in 36 games, his departure to Horsens (Denmark) leaves a big hole in the team’s offense.
The betting provider Betano is correspondingly unsure in the Wisla Krakow Llapi betting tip whether the visitors will score at least one goal. The odds for this are slightly less than 1.60 before kick-off.
Defensively, the Poles have rarely impressed recently. In tenth place in the table, only five teams have conceded more goals (50). However, with 62 goals scored, they have the second-best offense
Biała Gwiazda was like a shooting gallery in the pre-season. The games were always entertaining and not short of goals.
That can be expected again this time. Even if the Poles have a slight advantage, I also think the visitors have a chance of going ahead.
My Wisla Krakow Llapi tip is therefore: Both teams will score!
