Dila Gori
The Georgian club managed to finish third in the national championship last season and recently won the Supercup. In the Conference League qualifiers, Dila Gori proved their strength with a confident performance against Racing Luxembourg. On average, the team scores about 1.8 goals per game and concedes slightly more than one goal. With an active offense and key players like Andronikashvili, Parulava, and Deo Basingic, who provide creativity in attack, Dila Gori is motivated to turn the tide in front of their home crowd.

Riga FC
The club from Latvia dominates its league impressively and has remained unbeaten in 51 of their last 54 matches. Riga impresses with a strong offense averaging 2.4 goals per game and a solid defense allowing fewer than one goal. Key players such as Siqueira, who scored and assisted in the first leg, as well as Diop and Ramirez, who create dangerous chances, pose significant threats. Additionally, the team efficiently uses set pieces and corners, adding another layer of scoring danger.

Injuries
Both coaches are expected to have their best players available as no significant absences are known. This promises a high-level game with full strength on both sides.

Head-to-Head
The history of direct encounters between Dila Gori and Riga FC is still very young. The only previous meeting was won by Riga 2-1, giving the Latvian team a psychological advantage. Nevertheless, Dila's motivation is particularly high at home to make up for the away defeat.

Match Prediction
The offensive quality of both teams and their previously shown defensive vulnerabilities point to a high-scoring game. Riga is currently the more stable team with better chance conversion, but Dila Gori will do everything at home to overturn the deficit. Therefore, it is expected that both teams will score and at least three goals will be scored. The match promises to be an exciting, open contest with lots of effort and chances on both sides.

My tip: Both teams to score: Yes (1.60)

Schtrassen
The Luxembourgish club Union Schtrassen achieved the best success in its history last season with second place in the national league. Despite this strong foundation, the preparation for the new season was disappointing, with no wins in four friendly matches. In the first leg against Dundee United, the team appeared cautious and managed only five shots on goal. However, on their home ground in official competitions recently, they showed great stability with four consecutive wins. The offense will mainly rely on the cooperation between Souza and Hadji, while the defense, with Tim Hall and Ricardo Delgado, is expected to provide security.

Dundee United
The Scottish club finished the Premier League season in an excellent fourth place and started the new campaign with a clear victory, scored by new signing Zach Sapsford. In the first leg, Dundee United controlled the game, created 13 chances, and dominated the proceedings. Coach Jim Goodwin plans to field almost the same starting lineup, possibly including Craig Sibbald or Panucci Kamara in midfield to strengthen control. The goal is to defend the narrow lead and demonstrate mature, organized football.

Injuries
Both teams have no serious absences to cope with. Schtrassen will field the same defensive formation as in the first game, while Dundee United will rely on the proven offense around Sapsford.

Head-to-Head
Both teams have never met before, with Dundee United narrowly winning the first leg (1:0) while clearly controlling possession and scoring chances.

Match Prediction
Given Dundee United’s dominant performance in the first leg and Schtrassen’s limited offensive power, a low-scoring game appears likely. The hosts will try to apply pressure with quick wing attacks, but the well-organized Scottish defense could effectively prevent these attempts. Therefore, we expect a game with under 3.5 goals.

My Tip: Under 3.5 goals (1.35)

Zimbru
Zimbru is one of Moldova's most successful clubs with eight championship titles in the past. Although they have not become champions in recent years, they consistently maintain high table positions. This season, the team started with several losses but then secured clear victories against Dacia and Spartania and drew against Belzzy. Recently, Zimbru even won at home against table leader Sheriff. On average, Zimbru scores over two goals per match while conceding slightly more than one. About half of their games see goals at both ends. Key players include goalkeeper Chebotar, defenders Rodriguez and Stefan, and forwards Kleoschenko and Daan, who can create dangerous chances.

FK Astana
Astana is the dominant club in Kazakhstan, having won the championship six times consecutively from 2014 to 2019 and standing at the top again in 2022. The team consistently ranks among the front runners and aims for further titles. On average, Astana scores about 2.3 goals per game and concedes less than one, indicating a well-balanced approach offensively and defensively. Approximately half of their matches feature goals from both sides. Key players are goalkeeper Chondrich, defenders Kalaitz and Amanovich, as well as offensive players Kamara, Gripshi, and striker Charles, who is expected to deliver goals in crucial moments.

Injuries
The coaches have access to the full squad of their key players; no injuries are to be reported.

Head-to-Head
The teams met for the first time a week ago in Kazakhstan. Zimbru scored just before halftime, but Astana equalized in injury time. The 1-1 reflects the similarly strong performances of both teams and promises a close second leg.

Match Prediction
Zimbru enters the home game with growing confidence, which, given recent successes and statistics, raises hopes for a positive result. Astana traditionally impresses with a strong defense and effective offense and will focus in the second leg on ball control and quick counterattacks to avoid errors and advance further. It is likely to be a tactically influenced game with not too many goals, but a points gain for the guests is very probable. Considering all aspects, a win for FK Astana appears to be the most likely outcome.

My tip: FK Astana win (1.80)

Neman Grodno
The Belarusian club Neman Grodno is currently in strong form. Although the team has never been champion, they finished second in 2023 and also won the national cup this year. So far this season, they are just behind the leaders in fifth place, with a tightly contested league. In the previous qualifying match, Neman convincingly defeated Urartu 6-1, including a 4-0 home win. Offensively, players like Savitski, who has already scored twice against Košice, as well as Zubovich and Pantja, who create dangerous chances, are impressive. The team averages 1.53 goals per game with a stable defense conceding an average of 0.67 goals, indicating a good balance between offense and defense.

FC Košice
The Slovak club FC Košice is a reviving project with a long history, having even played in the Champions League in the past. After a longer period in the second league, the team returned to the top division in 2023 and achieved fifth place last year, qualifying for European competitions. The new season started with a defeat against Podbrezová. In the first match against Neman, Košice narrowly lost 2-3 after missing a penalty in stoppage time. Offensively, the team scores an average of 1.33 goals with 0.9 goals conceded per game, showing a relatively stable defense, though not quite as reliable as Neman's.

Injuries
At the time of the match, there is no information about injured players. Both teams can therefore rely on their key players, suggesting an intense and closely contested game.

Head-to-head
In European competitions, Neman Grodno and FC Košice have hardly met before, as Košice is appearing on the international stage for the first time in current form. The first encounter ended with a 3-2 away win for Neman, giving them a slight advantage for the second leg.

Match prediction
Neman Grodno currently shows a more convincing performance with reliable defense and dangerous offense. Košice can create dangerous situations but their defense is not as stable. The first leg result gives Neman a good starting position to maintain their lead. It is expected that Neman will take control of the game and remain defensively strong. Therefore, a rather cautious match is anticipated with not many goals overall.

My tip: Under 3.5 goals (1.35)

Hibernian
The Scottish team Hibernian welcomes the Danish club Midtjylland at Easter Road Stadium. After a 1-1 draw in the first leg, both teams are almost evenly matched. Hibernian showed strong form at home with only three defeats in 19 league matches and impresses with a solid defense. In attack, hopes rest especially on Jamie McGrath, Martin Boyle, and Kieran Bowie, despite the absences of Lewis Miller and Joe Newell due to injuries.

Midtjylland
Midtjylland comes with a lot of confidence from their domestic league, where they recently celebrated a high-scoring 6-2 victory against SønderjyskE. With Frankulino Ju in top form and a hat-trick behind him, they want to prove their offensive qualities in Scotland as well. Although Cho Gyu-sun and Usman Diao are missing, the return of Kevin Mbabu and several midfielders significantly strengthens the team compared to the first leg.

Injuries
Hibernian must do without Lewis Miller and Joe Newell. Midtjylland are missing Cho Gyu-sun and Usman Diao; all other players, especially the offensive leaders, are available.

Head-to-head Matches
The only direct encounter this season ended 1-1. Historically, the clubs have rarely met: Hibernian has only won once against Danish teams in 1962, while Midtjylland recorded a success against Scottish teams in 2021.

Match Prediction
Both teams enter this decisive game with high motivation. Hibernian will play to their home strengths and apply pressure, but Midtjylland’s offensive strength and European experience suggest a varied match. Given the compact defenses on both sides and the previous match developments, we expect a game with a moderate number of goals. The likelihood of a high-scoring game with over 3.5 goals is low, so betting on under 3.5 goals appears particularly sensible.

My tip: Under 3.5 goals (1.40)
