The UEFA Europa Conference League continues on Thursday as Croatian side Varazdin welcomes Portuguese outfit Santa Clara for the first leg of the second qualifying round. Both teams are eager to make a strong statement in this opening clash. Read on for a clearer breakdown of their current form and our expert tipsters’ betting predictions.
Santa Clara returned to competitive action after a lengthy break with a 1-1 draw against SC Farense. While there were glimpses of quality, the performance showed there’s still room for improvement if they’re to secure a strong result on the road.
Varazdin, on the other hand, have enjoyed an unbeaten preseason campaign, recording three wins and a draw across their last four friendly fixtures. Their solid run of form should give them confidence heading into this European tie.
Santa Clara enters this clash with a more experienced squad and a higher level of quality. Their balance in midfield and tactical discipline could prove decisive against a Varazdin side that hasn’t faced this level of intensity in preseason. We are backing the Portuguese visitors to edge this first-leg contest.
Both clubs have shown signs of defensive vulnerability in recent matches, and that could open the door for goals at both ends. With attacking threats on each side and the urgency of securing an early advantage, we expect both teams to get on the scoresheet.
Santa Clara returns to competitive action with a renewed sense of purpose after a lengthy break, and their draw against SC Farense showed glimpses of quality. While Varazdin have enjoyed an unbeaten run-in pre-season, the visitors possess greater squad depth and experience. With superior tactical structure and quality across the pitch, Santa Clara are tipped to do just enough to secure a narrow away win in this contest.
Both sides have shown defensive vulnerabilities in recent outings, and this clash is expected to produce goals at both ends. With neither side likely to sit back, both teams to score looks like the smart pick.
