Levadia vs Osijek Prediction
Levadia were roundly thrashed in the first leg despite taking an early lead. Curro Torres' side got to this stage with a 2-0 aggregate victory over Siauliai FA in the last round, but their run in Europe is likely to come to an end.
Osijek, for their part, have participated in all four editions of the Conference League without making it to the group stage. They are on the cusp of advancing beyond this stage of the qualifiers for the fourth time barring an unlikely capitulation.
Levadia need to score at least five goals without reply to have a shot at advancing to the next round, but the chances of that happening appear slim. Expect Osijek to cruise to a comfortable victory with goals at both ends.
Prediction: Levadia 1-3 Osijek
