Basaksehir will host Universitatea Craiova in this first leg of the UEFA Europa Conference playoff round on Thursday. The Grey Owls will hope to strengthen their bid to reach the main phase of Europe's third tier with a win over the White-Blues. Follow our prediction for the match below.

Basaksehir are on the verge of making their third appearance in the league phase of the UEFA Europa Conference League. The Turkish giants have been regulars in European competitions and are set for their second consecutive appearance in the third-tier club competition in Europe.

They played out a 1-1 draw against Norwegian side Viking FK in the second leg of the third qualifying round to secure a 4-2 aggregate victory. This result saw the Çağdaş Atan-led side maintain their unbeaten run in the competition.

Universitatea Craiova are aiming for their maiden appearance in the main phase of European club competition in modern times. They closed in on their first appearance in the 2022-23 qualifiers campaign before Hapoel Be’er Sheva eliminated them in the playoffs.

Mirel Rădoi’s side lost 4-3 against Trnava in the second leg of their third qualifying round, but won 6-4 on aggregate. They extended their unbeaten run to five matches after drawing 1-1 against Kayserispor in their last league match, but have lost both of their Conference League qualifiers on the road.
