Paks face Mornar in the UEFA Conference League

Mornar and Paks will square off in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League third-round qualification tie on Tuesday. The visitors hold a comfortable lead in the tie, having claimed a 3-0 home win in the first leg in Hungary last week.

Mornar were reduced to 10 men in the 41st minute following Chris Marlon Ondong-Mba's 41st-minute strike. Their hosts took advantage, with Daniel Bode breaking the deadlock just before the hour mark. Mornar ended the game with nine men while Balint Szabo and Barna Toth scored injury-time goals to make the result more comfortable.

Paks followed up their continental victory with a 3-1 defeat away to Zalaegerszegi in the Hungarian OTP Bank Liga. Balazs Bakti, Gergely Mim and Daniel Nemeth scored for the hosts while Bence Otvos scored a late consolation strike.

The winner of this tie will face either Mlada Boleslav or Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the playoff round for a place in the group stage. The losers will be eliminated from Europe.


Mornar vs Paks Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

  • Last week's clash was the maiden meeting between the two sides.
  • Five of Paks' last six games across competitions have produced three goals or more.
  • Mornar have won just one of their last five games in all competitions (three losses).
  • Ten of Paks' 11 historical games in UEFA club competitions have produced over 1.5 goals.
  • Paks have scored at least two goals in six of their last seven games.
  • Mornar are competing in Europe for the first time in their history.

Mornar vs Paks Prediction

Mornar made their debut on the continent this season and have successfully navigated through two qualification ties to get here. However, they have a three-goal deficit to overcome and their chances of advancing into the playoffs appear slim.

Paks, for their part, have never made it to the group stage of a UEFA competition. Just three games stand between them and a maiden group-stage appearance and they are well-positioned to advance from this tie to the playoffs.

Mornar have lost their last two games, conceding four goals without scoring any. We are backing the two sides to cancel each other out in a low-scoring stalemate.

Prediction: Mornar 1-1 Paks
