Austria Vienna host Legia Warsaw at the Generali Arena on Thursday night in the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round, with one foot in the playoffs. The Austrian side beat Legia 2-1 in the first leg. Muharem Huskovic netted a brace for Vienna before Ernest Muci pulled one back for the Polish side late on. However, Legia eventually fell short, despite finishing with more shots on target than their opponents; they had eight shots on target, while Vienna had three. And, they had a mammoth 70% possession. They played a 1-1 draw with Puscza in the Polish Premier league at the weekend. Meanwhile, Vienna saw their three-game winning run end following a 2-0 loss to RB Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga at the weekend. It was their second top-flight defeat in three games this season as they slipped to eighth in the standings. While Vienna are looking to make their second straight appearance in the Conference League, Legia are hoping to return to the European stage for the first time in two years. That ambition is under threat, as the Polish outfit must win the second leg by at least two goals to advance. For this encounter, I am expecting a win or a draw for Legia Warsaw for the following reasons:

Firstly. Legia Warsaw are actually on a decent current form. Their defeat against their current opponents in the first leg of this qualifier is their only defeat in their last six games. They have recorded three victories and two draws since then. They have top quality in their ranks, and have largely controlled their games while creating and scoring a lot of goals. They have scored in each of their last six games, and scored a total of 13 goals in six games now. They exerted so much control in their first leg and should have come away with at least a point. I expect them to be more clinical this time around, and get the job done.

Secondly. Austria Vienna have had a solid run of results recently. They have recorded four victories and two losses in their last six games. The home form of Austria Vienna looks decent as the team have lost just twice in the past 10 matches across all competitions. However, I can see them recording a set of draws of late. They have seemed to be struggling and inconsistent in their domestic league. They lost two of their last three league games, and are currently placed on the 8th position in their league table. They will be hoping that their struggles in the domestic league do not catch up to them here.

Judging by what is at stake here, this game is bound to be a tight affair. Legia showed a complete dominance in the first leg, but they could not make their dominance translate to goals. I expect them to go all out for the win here, but a draw would also be a likely outcome considering that Vienna have recorded a lot of that lately.

周四晚上，在欧联杯预选赛第三轮的第二回合比赛中，奥地利维也纳主场迎战华沙莱吉亚，一支球队将进军季后赛。奥地利球队在首回合以2比1击败莱吉亚。穆哈雷姆·胡斯科维奇为维也纳打进两球，随后穆奇为波兰扳回一球。然而，莱吉亚最终未能如愿，尽管他们的射门次数比对手多;他们有8次射正，维也纳有3次。他们拥有惊人的70%的控球率。上周末，他们在波兰超级联赛中1-1战平普什扎。与此同时，维也纳在上周末的奥地利德甲联赛中0 - 2不敌萨尔茨堡，结束了他们的三连胜。这是他们本赛季在顶级联赛的三场比赛中的第二场失利，他们的排名下滑至第8位。当维也纳希望连续第二次出现在联盟联赛时，莱吉亚希望两年来第一次重返欧洲舞台。这一雄心受到了威胁，因为这支波兰队必须在次回合赢得至少两球才能出线。对于这场比赛，我希望华沙莱吉亚能赢或平，原因如下:

首先。华沙军团目前的状态还不错。他们在预选赛首回合输给了现在的对手，这是他们最近六场比赛中的唯一失利。从那以后，他们取得了3胜2平的战绩。他们拥有顶级的实力，并且在很大程度上控制了比赛，同时创造和打进了很多进球。他们在最近的6场比赛中都取得了进球，并且在6场比赛中总共进了13球。他们在第一回合发挥了如此大的控制力，本应该至少拿到一分。我希望他们这次能更客观一些，把工作做好。

其次。奥地利维也纳最近取得了一系列稳定的成绩。在最近的6场比赛中，他们取得了4胜2负的战绩。奥地利维也纳队的主场状态看起来不错，他们在过去10场比赛中只输了两场。然而，我可以看到他们最近记录了一组平局。他们在国内联赛中似乎一直在挣扎和不稳定。他们在最近三场联赛中输掉了两场，目前在积分榜上排名第8。他们希望他们在国内联赛的挣扎不会影响到他们在这里的表现。

从这里的利害关系来判断，这场比赛肯定是一场激烈的比赛。莱吉亚在首回合表现出完全的优势，但他们无法将优势转化为进球。我预计他们会全力以赴争取胜利，但考虑到维也纳最近的战绩，平局也很可能是一个结果。
