Egnatia vs. Dinamo Minsk: Match Prediction
The Belarusians were considered favorites in the first encounter, but Egnatia outperformed them and deservedly won. In the home match, the Albanians aim to solidify their success, as the club has shown confidence on the European stage. In their last four home matches in European competitions, the team has only lost once, securing two wins in this span. Additionally, Egnatia has already won at home this season against Breidablik in the first qualifying round of the Champions League (1-0).
Belarusians face significant challenges on the road in European club tournaments, and in the Europa Conference League, Dinamo Minsk has not won in their last five away matches (1 draw, 4 losses). Moreover, in the last three away matches in this competition, the team has not scored and has twice lost by a four-goal margin. I do not expect significant progress from Minsk compared to the first meeting, so my prediction: Egnatia with a handicap (0)
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their previous match in this tournament.
