Lech vs Djurgarden Prediction and Betting Tips

Lech Poznan entertain Djurgarden at Stadion Poznan in the UEFA Europa Conference League on Thursday (March 9).

Poznan’s debut campaign is worthy of admiration, having crossed five stages unscathed to qualify for the Round of 16. They finished second in Group C to advance to the playoffs, where they edged out Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt 1-0 to set up a date with Djurgårdens.

Kolejorz won the Ekstraklasa (Polish top flight) last season and participated in the UEFA Champions League, where they crashed out in the first round. Their hopes of retaining the title are fading, as they sit third, trailing first-placed Rakow Czestochowa by 16 points, so the Conference League is a priority for them.

Djurgarden, meanwhile, qualified directly for the Round of 16 after finishing atop Group F with 16 points. The Swedish side had a near-flawless run in the group stage, winning five and drawing once. They're debuting in the Conference League but are seasoned participants of UEFA’s two other club competitions.

Jarnkaminerna finished second in the Allsvenskan – the Swedish top flight – last season, winning their last title in 2019. With the new season set to begin on April 1, Djurgarden have been busy with the Svenska Cupen – the cup competition - as well as friendlies. They have won four of their last five games, losing once, ahead of their first meeting with Lech.
