Astana vs Rakow Preview
EUROPA CONFERENCE LEAGUE, THU, JULY 28TH, 16:00 (UK)
Astana were totally dominated in the first leg of this fixture. A 5-0 drubbing at the Miejski Stadion saw two red cards, one to either side, two first-half goals and three in the second half. It was an easy win for the Polish side at home.
Astana will aim to redeem their image after that pummeling on the road. They have a solid record at home, one that has seen them score 20 goals in their past four home games; so they will be buoyed by that fact and possibly dream of a comeback.
Meanwhile, Rakow are a formidable side away from home as well, having won eight of their past nine away games.
Astana vs Rakow Best Bet
One thing is guaranteed with Rakow, they love to score goals and this game should not be an exception.
Despite the way the first leg may have gone, I strongly believe that there will be a plethora of goals in this second instalment.
- Selection: Over 2.5 Goals
- Best Odds: 2.00 (bet365)
- Stakes: 8/10
Gabala vs MOL Fehervar Preview
EUROPA CONFERENCE LEAGUE, THU, JULY 28TH, 17:00 (UK)
Last time out, Gabala, who were on a bad run of form, suffered a big defeat at the hands of MOL Fehervar in Hungary.
It was even the Azerbaijan side that scored first through Raphael Alemao. But goals from Adrian Rus, a brace from Kodro Kenan and Budu Zivzivadze turned the tie around for Michael Boris’s men.
Gabala’s form at home is worrisome as they have only won just once in their past seven games at home and for a side needing a big performance to reach the next stage of the tournament, it may be beyond their reach. On the other hand, MOL have scored in seven of their past eight games on the road.
Astana vs Rakow Best Bet
Having managed to find the net on the road, I think Gabala should not find it hard to score another one at home, while the visitors could run riot once again.
- Selection: Both teams to score
- Best Odds: 2.10 (bet365)
- Stakes: 7/10

CSKA Sofia vs Makedonija GP Preview
EUROPA CONFERENCE LEAGUE, THU, JULY 28TH, 18:00 (UK)
CSKA Sofia were the better side in the first leg but they failed to take their chances against their inferior opponents at the FFM Training Centre in Skopje. The game finished in a stalemate and there is so much to play for.
Back at home now, Sasa llic and his boys have a difficult task at hand as they will need to be at their best to beat the Macedonians in Sofia. Three consecutive home wins in their last three games puts them in good form ahead of this fixture. However, the visitors have managed to score in each of their past three away games.
CSKA Sofia vs Makedonija GP Best Bet
In the end, I expect CSKA to dominate proceedings and eventually get the job done by beating Muharem Bajrami’s side.
- Selection: CSKA Sofia win
- Best Odds: 1.40 (bet365)
- Stakes: 10/10

Riga FC vs Ruzomberok Preview
EUROPA CONFERENCE LEAGUE, THU, JULY 28TH, 18:00 (UK)
Riga are probably home and dry in this fixture, having won 3-0 in the first leg played at the Stadion pod Cebratom in Ruzomberok. It was a complete performance where they were on top for large periods and made good use of their chances against really tricky opponents.
In the second leg now, Riga have a healthy lead and are in top form with three wins and no goal conceded at home. Ruz struggle to get wins on the road as they have recorded just one win in their last four trips.
Riga FC vs Ruzomberok Best Bet
Riga will want to take the steam out of them by scoring early in order to see out the time. Regardless of the lead, Riga should still stay competitive to complete the double over the Slovakian side.
- Selection: Riga to Win
- Best Odds: 1.80 (bet365)
- Stakes: ?/10
