AFC Challenge League. The return match was won by Sway Rieng 4-1, so the situation is such that PPC will have to attack and try to reduce the gap from the first minutes, whether they want to or not. Both teams are not defensive, they like to attack, so this should make the match very lively. The first match was also very open, which is practically a constant thing between these clubs, so in this situation it is very hard to expect anything different.

A solid and stronger Shakhtar club should already look better from the first away match against Lech. After returning from Peru, the Ukrainian championship allows for expectations of good and stable form from the Donetsk club, and the home matches are also played in Ukraine. For them, this is not something new in the Conference League as they play at the Krakow Stadium.

In this pair, there is a clear favorite, who I think has already shown it since the first away match. Braga is in good form, although they have not been very lucky in terms of victories in recent matches, they are still able to defeat or at least not lose to stronger teams. Therefore, I also believe that they will perform successfully against Ferencvaros.

Even though Sigma team unexpectedly lost in the 16th final, now the Germany club has to put everything together on their shelves. Even though there has been no support from the Mainz club in Peru recently, the game was good and played against top Germany league teams, so Peru looks particularly impressive against the Czech club.

I would say that Forest are considered as somewhat of favorites here, as Midtjylland is one of the best teams in Europe this season, and our attack looks very strong throughout the whole season. However, I will go with BTS, as Forest have been scoring on average 12 goals per 5 matches at home in Europe, and they have scored in every match despite their problems in the Premier League. This shows that they are quite stable in the Europa League, and the result against Fenerbahce proves that. These teams have already met in the Europa League this season in the same stadium, and the away team won with a score of 2-3. So there might not be as many goals, but I still think that both teams will score.

Lyon in a slump, but their playing potential was evident when they had an impressive series and showed good offense. Lyon is focused on offense for the upcoming years, essentially always being on the offensive and liking to attack, but often suffering defensively. Celta Vigo is in good form, playing enjoyable football at home, but their biggest downfall is probably not capitalizing on opportunities. However, I believe the French will create as many chances as they allow their opponents. I expect a 2-1 result in either direction.

Lyon is currently in a bit of a slump, but we saw their potential in an impressive string of games where they demonstrated strong attacking skills. Their style has always been focused on offense, often preferring to push forward, but this often leaves them vulnerable in defense. Celta Vigo is in good form and also plays entertaining football at home, with their only downside being their lack of efficiency in converting chances. I believe the French team will create opportunities for both themselves and their opponents. I predict a 2-1 result for either side.
