Two losing teams from matchday one of the league phase in the UEFA Europa League (UEL) will look for their first points when NEC Nijmegen host Levski Sofia on Thursday. This match at Goffertstadion between the 36th-placed NEC and the 25th-placed ‘Blues’ could turn out to be an entertaining affair with over 2.5 goals, our match prediction.
After a 5-0 defeat to Juventus on matchday one, NEC start this round bottom of the points tally. Levski had a narrow 1-0 loss to Salzburg and are marginally above their hosts.
NEC drew 1-1 away at Ajax last weekend in the Eredivisie to make it back-to-back draws with the same score. Regardless, their winless run now stands at six competitive games (D3, L3).
One of those losses was the heavy defeat on matchday one of this competition. Hopes of overturning that here need them to overturn their home record, as NEC have failed to win their last six home matches within 90 minutes (D3, L3).
Levski had a 2-0 away win over Cherno. More last weekend in the Bulgarian League to halt a three-game winless sequence (D1, L2). One of those defeats was the 1-0 home loss to Salzburg on UEL matchday one. The visitors hope to bounce back here and part of those expectations come from three wins across their last four trips (D1).
