Wisla Krakow face Cercle Bruges in the UEFA Conference League Playoff first-leg in what should be a match of plentiful chances. The Biala Gwiazda’s most recent games have seen plenty of goals at both ends and against the Groen en Zwart, the data suggests a high-scoring and open contest. Let’s look closer at our prediction for this key playoff fixture.
The Polish side dropped into the Conference League Third Qualifying round after losing 8-2 on aggregate to Rapid Vienna in the Europa League Second round qualifier. That included a 6-1 thrashing in Vienna. However, in the Conference League Third Round, they came from 3-1 down in the first leg to beat Spartak Trnava 3-1 in Krakow, then defeated the Slovakian side 12-11 on penalties in a marathon shootout.
The defeat to Rapid Vienna is their sole home defeat so far this season, winning three and drawing two of the other five games played at the Henryk Reyman Stadium. Their last game was a 2-2 home draw with Arka Gdynia.
It has been a tough start to the season for Cercle Bruges. They started in the Europa League, edging past Kilmarnock 2-1 on aggregate, but then lost 3-1 on aggregate to Molde. That dropped them into the Conference League for this playoff tie against their Polish hosts.
Domestically, the Belgians have also struggled, winning just one of four Pro League games so far this season and warming up for this game with a 1-1 draw away to OH Leuven at the weekend.
