Conference League Preview August 7, 2025 – 7.8.2025

Araz vs Omonia (18:00)

Tip: Araz win or draw

Araz delivered an impressive performance against Aris in the previous round, eliminating a side that was considered the favourite by many experts. At home, they play with confidence, able to quickly switch from defence to attack and capitalise on opponents' mistakes. Despite the absence of centre-back Igor Ribeiro, who is suspended after a red card, they have enough quality in midfield and on the wings to cause problems. Omonia comfortably eliminated Torpedo Kutaisi but have historically struggled to impose their dominance away from home. Considering Araz's current form and the advantage of playing in front of their fans, a home win or draw seems the safest option, as they have all the tools to take a positive result into the second leg.

Aris Limassol vs AEK Athens (18:00)

Tip: draw

Aris Limassol had little trouble in their tie against Puskás Akadémia, dominating offensively and scoring five goals over two legs. They play bold, possession-based football at the Alphamega Stadium, backed by passionate support. Defensively, they must be cautious as Burkina Faso defender Steeve Yago is one booking away from suspension. AEK Athens showed their quality against Hapoel Beer Sheva and travel to Limassol with an experienced squad used to high-pressure European matches. Both sides have strong attacking weapons, but they also know the importance of avoiding defeat in the first leg. Given the balance in quality and style, a draw seems the most likely outcome.

Kauno Zalgiris vs Arda (18:00)

Tip: draw

Kauno Zalgiris built on their growing form in the previous round against Valur, delivering a disciplined display at home. Coach Eivinas Cerniauskas relies on a compact defence and quick transitions down the flanks. Arda edged past HJK Helsinki in a tight battle but are less convincing on the road, where their results are inconsistent. Both teams understand that the first leg will set the psychological tone for the tie, so a cautious approach is expected. Given the similar level and evenly matched playing styles, a draw is a logical prediction.

Milsami vs Virtus (18:00)

Tip: Milsami win

Milsami showed their attacking prowess not only in the comeback win against Buducnost but also in their domestic league, where they play attractive, forward-minded football. They are particularly dangerous from set pieces and have several players capable of deciding matches through individual brilliance. Virtus, on the other hand, revealed their limitations in the previous round against Zrinjski – especially in defensive organisation and the speed of their transitions. Milsami’s European experience and home advantage make them strong favourites. If they maintain their usual scoring efficiency, they should establish a solid lead for the return leg.

Rosenborg vs Hammarby (18:00)

Tip: draw

Rosenborg will be aiming to bounce back from a heavy 4-1 defeat to KFUM Oslo, which exposed weaknesses in their defence. Injuries to key players such as Iver Fossum and Noah Sahsah limit the coach’s options. Hammarby impressed by knocking out Belgian side Charleroi and will approach this clash with confidence. Both teams prefer an attacking style and have enough individual quality to create chances. With no clear favourite and both sides looking evenly matched, a draw appears the most probable result, keeping the tie open ahead of the second leg.

Ostrava vs Austria Vienna (18:30)

Tip: both teams to score

Baník Ostrava are on a four-game winless streak but can count on strong home support and the ability to create chances. In the previous round against Legia, they showed they can play open football and threaten the opposition’s goal, even if their defence wasn’t flawless. Austria Vienna have been in attacking form recently, regularly scoring more than once per match, though their own defence can be vulnerable. The combination of attacking options and defensive weaknesses on both sides suggests that each team will find the net.

AIK vs Gyor (19:00)

Tip: AIK win

AIK crushed Estonian side Paide 8-0 on aggregate in the previous round, clearly displaying their strength and European pedigree. At their Strawberry Arena, they are extremely hard to beat and can apply sustained pressure throughout the match. Even without Martin Ellingsen and Eskil Edh, the squad has the depth to control proceedings. Gyor overcame Pyunik Yerevan but their away results are inconsistent, and their defence often struggles against quick combination play. Given the current form, AIK should live up to their role as favourites.

Riga FC vs Beitar Jerusalem (19:00)

Tip: both teams to score

Riga FC handled Dila Gori well and showed that they play attacking football at home without much fear of their opponents. They are quick in transition and can exploit even small defensive errors. Beitar Jerusalem also adopt an offensive approach, spearheaded by in-form striker Yarden Shua. Both sides possess significant attacking quality but are far from watertight at the back, which creates a strong case for goals at both ends.

Silkeborg vs Jagiellonia (19:00)

Tip: over 2.5 goals

Silkeborg needed extra time to get past KA Akureyri, confirming that their main strength lies in attack. Their coach prefers open football with high pressing, which often leads to goals at both ends. Jagiellonia comfortably dispatched Novi Pazar and have been prolific in recent weeks, thanks in part to Afimico Pululu. With two offensively-minded teams and tacticians who favour attacking football, this game promises to deliver at least three goals in an entertaining contest.

Viking vs Basaksehir (19:00)

Tip: Viking win

Viking are in superb form, winning four games in a row and regularly scoring more than twice per match. Striker Sander Svendsen is in excellent shape, with a hat-trick against Koper highlighting his current confidence. Basaksehir cruised past Cherno More but the Norwegian side have the advantage of a fully active domestic season and home conditions that create intense pressure. The visitors tend to be less convincing away from home, and against this in-form Viking side, they may find it hard to keep pace. Everything points to a home victory.

Anderlecht vs Sheriff Tiraspol (20:00)

Tip: Anderlecht win

Anderlecht have started the new season with energy and confidence, backed by a string of strong performances in the domestic league. Although they faced a tough opponent in Häcken in the last round, they showed they have the attacking quality to dominate. Sheriff Tiraspol often struggle away from home and have lacked stability in recent matches. Playing at Lotto Park gives Anderlecht a clear advantage, and with the backing of their supporters, they should secure a first-leg lead.

AZ Alkmaar vs Vaduz (20:00)

Tip: AZ Alkmaar win

AZ Alkmaar are among the most attacking teams in the Eredivisie and demonstrated their power in the previous round by thrashing Ilves 5-0. Players like Troy Parrott bring constant danger in attack, and AZ’s quick combination play causes problems for any defence. Vaduz advanced past Dungannon but will face enormous pressure from a much stronger opponent. The visitors often concede heavily away from home, making it difficult to see them avoiding defeat here.

Differdange vs Levadia (20:00)

Tip: draw

Differdange overcame TNS, showing strong defensive organisation and a preference for compact, disciplined play with quick counter-attacks. Levadia Tallinn have a similar style, having knocked out Iberia after extra time. Both teams appear evenly matched, and this could turn into a tactical battle with few clear chances. With no significant differences in individual quality and a shared playing philosophy, a draw seems the most likely outcome, leaving the tie open for the second leg.

Levski Sofia vs Sabah Baku (20:00)

Tip: Levski Sofia win

Levski Sofia exited the Europa League against Braga but held their own and proved they can compete with stronger opponents. At home, the Bulgarian side maintain a high win rate and are dangerous with fast transitions into attack. Sabah Baku looked solid in the previous round but have issues playing away from home, particularly against attack-minded teams. With key players returning to the line-up, Levski have all the conditions to secure a promising first-leg advantage.

Olimpija Ljubljana vs Egnatia (20:00)

Tip: draw

Olimpija Ljubljana suffered a heavy 5-0 defeat to Celje, leaving a mark on their morale. However, they have enough quality to push for a positive result at home. Egnatia are known for their disciplined, resilient approach, as seen in their matches against Dinamo Minsk. A balanced and cautious first leg is expected, with both teams aiming to keep the tie alive. Given current form and styles, a draw looks the most probable result.

Polissya Zhytomyr vs Paks (20:00)

Tip: both teams to score

Polissya Zhytomyr are in solid form and play an attacking game at home supported by active pressing. Paks are highly productive, recently scoring five goals against Kisvarda in the league. Both sides have strong attacking options but are prone to conceding against quality opposition. With this being the first leg and neither team likely to sit back, an open game with goals on both sides is expected.

Sparta Prague vs Ararat-Armenia (20:00)

Tip: Sparta Prague win

Sparta Prague have started the season in excellent form, with three straight victories. At home, they are dominant and able to put opponents under pressure from the first whistle. Ararat-Armenia have some quality individuals but will likely struggle against Sparta’s well-organised play. With a deep squad and European experience, the Czech champions should confirm their favourite status and take a lead into the return leg.

Vikingur vs Linfield (20:00)

Tip: Vikingur win

Vikingur recovered quickly from their Champions League disappointment with a league win and now have the perfect chance to bounce back in Europe. The Faroese side play with high intensity at home, often using the wind and unique conditions to their advantage. Linfield have struggled for years in European away matches and will find it difficult to keep up with the hosts’ pace. Vikingur will be eager to make amends and start this phase with a victory.

Lausanne vs FC Astana (20:15)

Tip: Lausanne win

Lausanne easily overcame Vardar in the previous round and are particularly dangerous at home. They rely on fast wing play and a strong presence in the opposition’s box. Astana have European experience but struggle to replicate their home form on the road. Lausanne have the benefit of regular domestic matches and good current form, which should help them secure a first-leg advantage.

FC Ballkani vs Shamrock Rovers (20:30)

Tip: draw

FC Ballkani have shown that they are well-organised at home and can make the most of their crowd support. Shamrock Rovers arrive in good form but Irish clubs often find away fixtures in Europe challenging. Both teams play a combative style and have defences capable of withstanding pressure. This first leg could be cautious, with neither wanting to make a costly mistake. A draw seems the most likely result.

Lugano vs Celje (20:30)

Tip: Celje win or draw

Lugano have been struggling defensively, with a heavy loss to Sion recently exposing their weaknesses. Celje, on the other hand, come off an emphatic 5-0 victory over rivals Olimpija, boosting their confidence. The Slovenian side are quick on the break and have several players capable of deciding the game individually. Given their form and Lugano’s defensive uncertainty, Celje have a strong chance of leaving with at least a draw.

Universitatea Craiova vs Trnava (20:30)

Tip: both teams to score

Universitatea Craiova are in a strong attacking phase, regularly scoring in recent matches. Trnava have also been prolific, hitting seven goals over two legs in the previous round. Both sides boast strong forward lines but have defensive lapses that can be exploited. An open game is expected, with enough chances for each team to get on the scoresheet.

St. Patricks vs Besiktas (20:45)

Tip: Besiktas win

Besiktas travel to Ireland looking to bounce back from Europa League disappointment and have the perfect opportunity against St. Patricks. The Turkish giants have a squad full of experienced players, including new signing Tammy Abraham. While St. Patricks can count on home support, the gap in quality and European experience is significant. Besiktas should be able to control the tempo and secure a lead ahead of the return match.

Vikingur Reykjavik vs Brondby (20:45)

Tip: both teams to score

Vikingur Reykjavik are strong in attack at home and can trouble even higher-ranked opponents. Brondby play attacking football and can exploit defensive gaps. Both teams prefer to go forward and have players capable of finishing even from half-chances. Given their open styles, goals at both ends are very likely.

Hajduk Split vs Dinamo Tirana (21:00)

Tip: Hajduk Split win

Hajduk Split enter the match as clear favourites, boosted by the return of key players Marko Livaja and Ante Rebić. The home side have a significantly stronger squad and more European experience. Dinamo Tirana did well to progress in the last round but will face serious difficulties away against such quality. With the support of the passionate crowd at Poljud, Hajduk should secure a convincing win.

Larne vs Santa Clara (21:00)

Tip: Santa Clara win

Santa Clara overcame Varaždin and proved they can succeed in tough matches. Larne have fighting spirit but the Portuguese side have a higher overall quality, with a balanced mix of experience and individual talent. Given Santa Clara’s ambitions to progress far, they will look to take control of the tie already in the first leg.

Partizan vs Hibernian (21:00)

Tip: Partizan win

Partizan have made an excellent start to the season under their new coach, playing attractive, attacking football. Hibernian can challenge stronger sides but often fail to maintain intensity away from home. The hosts have a well-balanced team with pace on the wings and strength in midfield, which should allow them to control the game. With strong home support in Belgrade, Partizan are well placed to take a comfortable lead.

Rakow vs Maccabi Haifa (21:00)

Tip: Rakow win or draw

Rakow may be struggling in their domestic league but tend to raise their game in European competition. Maccabi Haifa have yet to start their domestic season, which could affect their match sharpness. The Polish side rely on compact defending and quick counter-attacks, which can trouble the visitors. Given the balance between the teams, Rakow have a good chance of securing at least a draw.

SK Rapid vs Dundee United (21:00)

Tip: SK Rapid win

Rapid Vienna are on a four-game winning streak and look dominant at home. Dundee United opened their season with a draw against Falkirk but will face a much stronger opponent here. Rapid’s quick transitions and creative midfielders should find a way through the Scottish side’s defence. The Austrian team are expected to confirm their favourite status and lay a solid foundation for progression.
