The 1st legs of the 2nd qualifying round in the Europa League continue on Thursday night and our next fixture features a clash between Czech Republic side, Mlada Boleslav, and Kazakhstan outfit, Ordabasy Shymkent, as the betting tips continue at the Adidas Aréna.
Mlada Boleslav Prediction – Can Mlada Boleslav make most of home leg?
Mlada Boleslav enter at the 2nd qualifying round stage of the Europa League this season having secured their spot thanks to a play-off win at the end of last season.
The hosts beat domestic rivals 4-3 on aggregate over two legs in the Europa League play-off at the end of last term to take their place in the Europa League.
Although they’ve produced mixed results in their pre-season friendlies, and indeed, the start of the Czech Liga season, Mlada Boleslav will be confident ahead of this 1st leg.
A 2-2 draw with Pribram was followed by a 2-1 win over Teplice before they were handed back-to-back defeats at Sturm Graz and CFR Cluj.
However, these losses were both away from home and although they lost 3-0 at Bohemians in the league, they’d previously beaten Karvina 1-0 at home.
Overall results on home turf at their Adidas Aréna will give the hosts plenty of confidence though as they’ve lost just 1 of their last 14 matches in all competitions.
Within this sequence, Mlada Boleslav have recorded 9 wins as well as winning their last 3 Europa League ties at home on the trot.
Ordabasy Prediction – Can Ordabasy give good account?
The visitors secured their passage into the 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League thanks to a 3-0 aggregate win in the previous round.
Ordabasy Shymkent dealt with Georgian outfit, Torpedo Kutaisi in clinical fashion with a 1-0 home win and then followed that up with a 2-0 away win in the 2nd leg.
They’ll now face tough opposition in this next round of the competition though as they’re up against Mlada Boleslav.
Although they’ve suffered just 1 defeat out of their last 5 matches in all competitions, Ordabasy’s results away from home haven’t always been consistent.
Ordabasy head over to Czech Republic on the back of a 1-0 loss away at Atyrau in the Kazakhstan Premier League.
In the domestic top flight, they’ve recorded the second lowest away wins out of the top half of the division, winning just 3 of their 9 matches on the road to date.
Their short history in the Europa League has seen them register just 2 away wins from their 6 ties played on their travels.
In addition, they’ve kept just 2 clean sheets away from home at this level too.
