Paks vs Mornar Prediction and Betting Tips | August 8th 2024

Paks welcome Mornar to Fehervari uti stadion for the first leg of their UEFA Conference League third qualification round tie on Thursday. The home side are coming off a 2-1 victory over Ujpest at the same venue in the Hungarian OTP Bank Liga over the weekend.

They went ahead through Joao Nunes' 36th-minute own goal while Matija Ljujic drew the visitors level in the 81st minute. Jozsef Windecker scored the match-winner in the second minute of injury time.

Atomcsapat will turn their focus to the continent, having booked their spot at this stage of the Conference League qualifiers with a comfortable 5-0 aggregate victory over AEK Larnaca in the last round. A 3-0 home win was followed by a 2-0 away win in Cyprus.

Mornar, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Otrant in the Montenegrin First League. Andjelo Rudovic's eighth-minute strike was the difference between the two sides.

The Bar outfit needed a penalty shootout victory against Radnicki 1923 to get to this stage following a 2-2 aggregate draw.

The winner of this tie will face either Mlada Boleslav or Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the playoff round for a place in the group stage. The losers will be eliminated from Europe.

Paks vs Mornar Prediction

Paks kick-started their campaign with a shock 4-0 thrashing at home to Hunedora in the Europa League. Despite claiming a 2-0 victory in the second leg, they were relegated to the Conference League. György Bognár's side have rebounded with a four-game unbeaten run and are four games away from a maiden appearance in the group stage of a UEFA competition.

Continental debutants Mornar have successfully navigated two ties as heavy underdogs to get to this stage. They will be aiming to register a third scalp in what has already gone down as a memorable maiden sojourn in Europe.

We are backing the hosts to claim a routine victory and clean sheet.
