Match corresponding to the second qualifying round of the Europa League. It faces the Belarusian Shakhtyor and the Polish Lech Poznan.
Two teams that we are very used to seeing in these previous European stages. I am very surprised by this quota for the local victory, I understand that the visitor has something more name in the European scene, but the reality reflects an even match between teams that tend to prevail the field factor. The locals in recent years have been growing little by little in their football, and even in 2014 brushed the group stage (were eliminated by PSV in the last previous). Of their last 9 European matches they have lost only two, and one of them against the powerful Dutch team, precisely.
The Poznan lost their away game in the previous round, against an Armenian team, the Gandzasar, with similar characteristics they face now. Shakhtyor won his two matches in that tie. Finally we must remember that the Shakhtyor is in full season, even postponed the game of his last day (so they could prepare this better) and Lech began shooting in the league last weekend.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.79
