Mlada Boleslav vs Jagiellonia prediction: EUROPE: Conference League – League phase betting tips on match 2024-12-11 20:00.
[p]On the brink of an early elimination from the UEFA Conference League’s inaugural league phase, Mladá Boleslav find themselves needing to beat one of the tournament’s in-form teams to improve their chances of reaching the knockout phase. Their rescue mission began last matchday with a famous 2-1 win at home to Real Betis, and since then they’ve gone from strength to strength. [/p]
[p]The Czech club propelled themselves into the top-six of the Chance Liga with three consecutive wins – scoring eight unanswered goals – to record their longest competitive winning streak under Andreas Brännström and their first of four games since October 2023. Their three straight home victories in that period followed seven at home without a single win across all competitions (D5, L2), emphasising the dramatic turnaround overseen by Brännström. [/p]
[p]Jagiellonia Białystok started this round an impressive third place after their perfect start to the campaign was dented by a dramatic 3-3 draw away to Celje. Poland’s winter break began for most clubs after the weekend just concluded, where defending champions Jagiellonia drew for the fifth time in six matches (W1) despite scoring on all five occasions. [/p]
[p]The likelihood of both teams scoring in this match therefore appears to be quite high considering Jagiellonia have found the net in each of their last 17 games – avoiding defeat in all (W11, D6), whilst they’re without an away clean sheet in Europe since July’s qualifier at PanevÄ—Ĺľys.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Good luck charm Tomáš Ladra last lost a goalscoring appearance in August 2019 (W26, D10 since), so his ninth competitive strike of the season will likely bring Mladá Boleslav some much needed points. Jagiellonia’s Nené could be in line for a continental start after scoring their first goal in their last two domestic matches.[/p]
[p]Hot streak: Mladá Boleslav conceded the opening goal in all four of their league phase matches. [/p]
