Prediction published on 19/08/2025, 13:00  by Devesh Jaganath in Conference League Predictions

Neman Grodno and Rayo Vallecano will face off in their Conference League Playoff round first-leg clash on Thursday night. The winner of this tie between Nemantsy and Los Franjirrojos will enter the Conference League main draw, while the loser will be eliminated from European competition for this season. Let’s get into the match prediction. 

Neman Grodno are featuring in their third consecutive Conference League qualifiers, but they have never reached the main draw of any European competition in the past.

Nemantsy pulled off a stunning comeback in the last round from 2-0 down in the first leg to beat KI on penalties in the second. They got by Urartu and Kosice in the preceding rounds. 

The hosts are unbeaten in their last five home games across all competitions (W4 D1 L0) and scored two or more goals in all but one of those matches. 

Meanwhile, thanks to their UEFA coefficient, Rayo Vallecano are entering the Conference League qualifiers in this round, marking their return to European competition after 24 years. 

Los Franjirrojos kicked off their domestic season impressively, beating Girona 3-1 on the road last week. They are now unbeaten in their last six competitive matches (W4 D2 L0). 

The visitors also had a solid pre-season, losing only one of their four matches. That was also the only game they’ve lost since the start of May.
