Europa League Preview August 14, 2025 – 14.8.2025

KuPS vs RFS (17:00)

Tip: RFS to win or draw

Latvian side RFS enters the match aiming to confirm their growing quality on the European stage. They have shown an ability to play compactly in defense while transitioning quickly into attack. Coach Viktors Morozs relies on creative midfielder Stefan Panic and pacey winger Emerson Deocleciano, both capable of deciding games in a single moment. KuPS have a solid home record and lean on experienced striker Saku Savolainen, but they often lack the necessary quality in the final third in European fixtures. The Latvian team also enjoys better physical preparedness and more experience under pressure, which could prove decisive late in the match. If RFS maintain their defensive discipline, they have a realistic chance to take at least a draw from Finland.

Midtjylland vs Fredrikstad (18:00)

Tip: Midtjylland to win

Midtjylland are regular participants in European competitions and are known for their physical style of play and effective use of set-pieces. In their domestic league, they maintain a high tempo and rely on prolific striker Gustav Isaksen and the creativity of Evander in midfield. Fredrikstad return to the European stage after a long absence, but their squad lacks the necessary experience and depth. The Norwegians depend on young forward Simen Rafnese, yet their defense is vulnerable against teams that play directly and with high intensity. Midtjylland also enjoy strong home support, often dictating the tempo from the first minute. If they use their physical advantage, they can build a solid lead ahead of the return leg.

Brann vs Hacken (19:00)

Tip: Brann to win or draw

Brann can rely on excellent home form and passionate fan support, which creates a unique atmosphere at the Bergen stadium. In the Norwegian league, they are among the highest-scoring teams, with striker Bård Finne posing a major threat through his intelligent movement. Hacken have a strong attack led by Benie Traoré and are dangerous in tight combinations, but they often lose composure and concede goals on the road from quick counterattacks. Brann boast a well-organised defense led by experienced Fredrik Knudsen and pose a threat from corners and free-kicks. This match has the potential to be closely contested, but the Norwegian side is traditionally resilient at home. A double chance on Brann to win or draw looks like a safe choice.

Noah vs Lincoln Red Imps (19:00)

Tip: Noah to win

Armenian side Noah have made great progress in recent seasons, especially thanks to the arrival of several foreign reinforcements. In attack, they rely on quick Brazilian forward Patrick Fernandes and midfield playmaker Artak Dashyan. Lincoln Red Imps have extensive experience in European qualifiers and have caused upsets in the past, but they often struggle against physically strong opponents. The Gibraltarian champions have several veterans such as Roy Chipolina, but the pace and pressing of the home side could prove challenging for their defense. Noah also enjoy a height advantage at set-pieces, which is often decisive in such matches. The hosts will want to settle the tie early and build a comfortable lead.

Wolfsberger AC vs PAOK (19:00)

Tip: PAOK to win or draw

PAOK Thessaloniki bring to Austria a strong and experienced squad, with regular appearances in European group stages. In attack, they can rely on seasoned striker Nelson Oliveira and creative midfielder Andrija Živković. Wolfsberger AC are dangerous at home and have fast wingers, but they often struggle in defensive shape against technically skilled opponents. PAOK have a strong midfield led by Stefan Schwab, capable of controlling the tempo and minimising mistakes. The Greek side are also dangerous on counterattacks, which could be the key to success away to the Austrian team. A double chance on PAOK to win or draw therefore offers solid value.

Breidablik vs Zrinjski (19:30)

Tip: Zrinjski to win or draw

Zrinjski Mostar have enjoyed several successful European qualifying campaigns and are known for their organised defence. The Bosnian side rely on dependable centre-back Slobodan Jakovljević and productive forward Josip Ivančić, who is a constant threat. Breidablik dominate the Icelandic league but often lose their rhythm in Europe against stronger and more tactically advanced sides. The hosts will look to use quick transitions and long-range shots, particularly through Arnór Borg Guðjohnsen, but Zrinjski's backline is used to facing physical styles. The visitors also have experience playing on artificial turf, which negates the hosts’ advantage. Betting on Zrinjski not to lose is therefore a logical choice.

Drita vs FCSB (20:00)

Tip: FCSB to win

FCSB are one of the biggest football brands in Romania and have extensive experience on the European stage. Coach Elias Charalambous relies on the attacking prowess of Florinel Coman and the creativity of Octavian Popescu in midfield. Drita are very strong at home and boast a solid defence led by Ardian Limani, but they often lose concentration late in matches against technically skilled teams. The Romanian side have a better transition game and higher individual quality in key positions. If FCSB manage to get through the first 20 minutes without conceding, they can dictate the tempo.

Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Hamrun (20:00)

Tip: Maccabi Tel Aviv to win

Maccabi Tel Aviv have one of the strongest squads in Eastern Europe and regularly participate in European group stages. Key roles are played by captain Sheran Yeini, who keeps the defence organised, and prolific striker Eran Zahavi, famous for his goalscoring ability. Hamrun Spartans are the reigning champions of Malta and rely on team cohesion and fighting spirit, but their defence will face enormous pressure. The Israelis have quick wingers and quality combination play in tight spaces, which should dismantle the visitors' backline. A dominant performance from Maccabi is expected, with all the ingredients for a comfortable win.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs Panathinaikos (20:00)

Tip: Shakhtar Donetsk to win

Shakhtar Donetsk are known for their technical style of play and ability to develop attacking talents from Brazil. Currently, they rely on striker Danylo Sikan and creative midfielder Heorhii Sudakov. Panathinaikos have a quality squad and can control matches, particularly through Ruben Perez in midfield, but they often appear less threatening away from home. Shakhtar boast a rapid transition game and dangerous set-pieces, which they know how to capitalise on. The Ukrainian side also have Champions League experience, and their tempo could prove challenging for the Greek visitors. A home victory should not come as a surprise.

Utrecht vs Servette (20:00)

Tip: Utrecht to win

Utrecht have long maintained a strong home record, with fans at the Galgenwaard Stadium creating a lively atmosphere. The Dutch team rely on striker Bas Dost and creative midfielder Tasos Douvikas, both capable of deciding games. Servette have solid organisation and dangerous quick counterattacks led by Chris Bedia, but they struggle to sustain tempo for the full 90 minutes against attack-minded teams. Utrecht have more attacking options and can pin opponents back for long spells. The hosts should use their offensive potential.

Braga vs CFR Cluj (20:30)

Tip: Braga to win

Braga are regular participants in European competitions and boast a squad of high quality. The attacking duo of Ricardo Horta and Abel Ruiz is among the most dangerous in the Portuguese league. CFR Cluj are tactically disciplined and have European experience, but their play is more defensive and less creative. Braga play fast, combinational football and are extremely strong at home, especially early in matches. The Romanian side will have to rely on counterattacks, but breaking down Braga’s compact defence will be difficult. The hosts have all the attributes needed for a win.

Legia vs AEK Larnaca (21:00)

Tip: Legia to win

Legia Warsaw are leaders of the Polish Ekstraklasa, and their home matches are among the most attended in Europe. The team relies on the attacking qualities of Tomáš Pekhart and the pace of Ernest Muçi. AEK Larnaca have an experienced squad with several Spanish players capable of controlling games, but their away performances are less convincing. The Polish side enjoy better physical preparation and greater creativity in the final third. Legia also benefit from excellent set-pieces. Combined with the home advantage, they should be favourites.
