KuPS : Midtjylland
KuPS has been doing really well in their league, sitting in 2nd place with the same number of points as Inter Turku. In their last 7 competitive matches, they have won 6 times, with their only loss being the first game against today’s opponent. At home, they have achieved 7 consecutive victories, including wins against Milsami, Kairat Almaty, and RFS.
FC Midtjylland is still unbeaten in all competitions this season, with 6 wins and 5 draws, and they are in great form. In European competitions, they have played 5 matches so far, winning 3 and drawing 2. They have a strong attack, scoring 18 goals in 6 league matches. Their big win of 4-0 in the first match allows them to enter this game more relaxed.
Considering the attacking potential of both teams, we expect to see an exciting match today with at least 3 goals scored.

Ludogorets vs Shkendija
Ludogorets started strong in the first match in Skopje by scoring the first goal, but the Shkendija managed to come back with two goals and won 2-1. For the rematch, the home team is the favorite and will need to attack right from the beginning to overcome the deficit from the first match. Last year, Ludogorets secured a spot in the final stage of the UEL, and this season their main goal remains the same.
Shkendija showed a solid performance in the qualifying rounds so far, scoring 8 goals in 5 matches, but their defense has been a weakness, allowing the same number of goals this season in European competitions. With their victory over FCSB, the team secured a spot in the UECL, but they are not going to give up in this match. Shkendija will try to achieve a positive result and continue their appearances this fall in the UEL, showing a fighting and offensive approach on the field.
We expect the home team to attack right from the start, which will give the visiting team a chance to score through counterattacks. Therefore, our prediction is that both teams will score in this game.

PAOK : Rijeka
PAOK has been doing well overall, staying unbeaten in their last 4 competitive matches before losing the first leg to Rijeka. They recently won a league game against Larissa with a score of 1-0, but their offense has struggled, scoring only one goal in their last four matches. PAOK has a great home record, remaining unbeaten in their last 8 home games across all competitions, with 7 wins. In the previous round, PAOK defeated Wolfsberger AC with an overall score of 1-0, thanks to a goal in extra time.
Rijeka has been a bit up and down, winning just 2 of their last 6 matches and losing 3, including recent losses to Varazdin and Dinamo Zagreb. They haven’t won in 5 of their last five competitive games. Their first-leg win was tough, but they’ve let in goals in their most recent matches. Rijeka started in the UCL but got eliminated by Ludogorets, and before this matchup, they beat Shelbourne.
Both teams are playing carefully and defensively, so we expect a match with not many goals.
0-2 (Under 2.5)
Odds:2.19

Dyn. Kyiv – Maccabi Tel Aviv
Dynamo Kyiv is in a tough spot after losing 3-1 in the first match, so they need to start playing aggressively to make up for the two-goal deficit. The second match will again take place on neutral ground in Poland. To stay in the game, it will be crucial for their attack to be effective and to take every chance in front of the opponent’s goal.
Maccabi Tel Aviv enters the second match with an advantage from the first game, which gives them a more comfortable situation, but they will still aim to secure another good result. The Israeli team has been very effective in attack, scoring 10 goals in their last 4 matches, so it is expected that their offense will be at a high level this time as well.
Both teams were eliminated in the Champions League qualifiers by the Cypriot team Paphos, which made it to the group stage.
In this match, we expect the same as in the first one, both teams to attack right from the start, and our prediction is that there will be three or more goals scored.
3+ (Over 2.5)
Odds:1.89

FCSB – Aberdeen
FCSB, after a rough start in this season’s European qualifiers, is showing signs of improvement with their recent good results. In 5 matches played in the qualifiers, they scored 9 goals. In their first match in Scotland, even though they were leading 0-2 until the end, they conceded two goals and ended up with a draw.
Last season, FCSB made it to the final stage of the UEL, and now they have a great chance to repeat last year’s success at home and qualify for the group stage.
Aberdeen had a tough start in the Scottish Premier League this season, losing their first two matches. However, the team has shown signs of improvement in their last two matches, scoring a total of 5 goals, including 2 goals in their first match against today opponent. Aberdeen is gradually finding their form and offensive efficiency, and that’s improve their chances for positive results in upcoming matches.
Both teams have chances to advance to the next stage of the Europa League. We expect that, just like in the first match, it will be an exciting game and both teams will score in this match.
