Legia Warszawa vs Molde Prediction and Betting Tips | February 22nd 2024
Legia Warszawa and Molde square off in the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League knockout-stage playoff on Thursday.
Kosta Runjaic’s men suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat in last week’s reverse leg in Norway and will be looking to turn the tie around at the Polish Army Stadium.
Legia Warszawa needed an 86th-minute strike from Maciej Rosolek to salvage a somewhat disappointing 1-1 draw with Puszcza in the Polish top flight on Sunday.
This followed a 3-2 loss against Molde in the first leg of their Conference League knockout stages clash last Thursday which saw their five-game unbeaten run come to an end.
However, Runjaic’s side will be backing themselves to overturn their one-goal deficit as they have been rock-solid at home, where they are unbeaten in their last six competitive matches since October’s 3-1 loss to Stal Mielec.
On the other hand, Molde head into Thursday’s return leg on a run of three wins in their four matches since the turn of the year.
Their only defeat so far came on February 8, when they were beaten 3-1 by Copenhagen in the Atlantic Cup at the Estádio Algarve.
While Molde will be looking to pick up where they left off last week, they are on a run of two consecutive away defeats, conceding eight goals and scoring twice in that time.
