Egnatia could take advantage of Lillestrom’s poor record as the sides clash in the UEFA Europa League (UEL) play-off round. This first leg match on Thursday at the Demrozi Stadium between the Albanians and the visiting ‘Canaries’ is likely to be a tough outing for the visitors, and our prediction is a double chance for the hosts.
The winner of this two-legged tie advances to the league phase, while the losers will be transferred to the league phase of the UEFA Conference League. Egnatia started in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) but dropped to this competition after losing in the second round. Lillestrom are starting directly in this round.
A thumping 5-1 home win last week helped Egnatia defeat Shamrock Rovers 6-4 on aggregate in the previous round. This result kept the Albanians undefeated within 90 minutes in six of their seven matches this season. That included two wins and a draw at home, so the Albanians will hope to remain competitive.
Lillestrom’s struggles in the domestic league continued last weekend when they drew 1-1 away at KFUM Oslo. That result kept them winless in four games (D1, L3) ahead of this crucial European tie. The visitors are back in a European competition for the first time since 2022-23 but have traditionally struggled on the road.
