Jagiellonia vs Hamrun prediction: EUROPE: Conference League – League phase betting tips on match 2025-10-01 16:45.
[p]Jagiellonia Białystok will be hoping to at least replicate last season’s run to the UEFA Conference League (UECL) quarter-finals, as they host debutants Hamrun Spartans in their opening match.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Jagiellonia Białystok earned a lot of respect leading up to this match with league draws away at both Legia Warsaw (0-0) and Lech Poznań (2-2), typically two of the toughest away trips Polish football can offer. Head coach Adrian Siemieniec believes his players are showing great intensity and must be pleased that the team are coming into this league phase on a 14-game unbeaten run (W9, D5) across all competitions. Jagiellonia have had to reach the main draw the hard way, but know what is possible after achieving their best-ever performance in a European competition last season.[/p]
[p]Hamrun have already made history as the first Maltese club to qualify for either the group/league phase of any European competition following a two-legged qualifying win over Latvia’s RFS. Little is expected of a club with barely any continental pedigree, but their progress has already secured a significant financial windfall of more than €3m, as well as a greater share of UEFA funding for their fellow Maltese top-division clubs. Without a win in any of their four European away fixtures this season (D1, L3), travelling is expected to be particularly difficult for the newcomers.  [/p]
