Prediction published on 26/07/2022, 23:11  by Daniel Ngulu in Conference League Predictions

Finnish side SJK have an uphill task in their trip to Norway to face Lillestrom in the return leg of their Europa Conference League second qualifying round tie. Lillestrom lead 1-0 from the opening leg of the tie and in their form so far this season, this is a game they’ll view as winnable. In their last five matches, Lillestrom have four wins and a loss. They’ve only failed to score in one of their last five matches, which ended in a 1-0 loss to Viking but they’ve scored two or more goals in two of the last five matches. Two times in their last five matches, Lillestrom have kept clean sheets and they’ll be happy to play at home where they’ve only lost once in their last 10 competitive games.

SJK needed to go all the way to extra time to eliminate Flora in the last round of this competition. They won 4-2 on that occasion and will be hoping for a more clinical approach to this game. They come into this one on a good scoring run but also need to note that this will be a tougher opponent than the ones they’ve faced lately. In the last five matches, it is only in the game against Lillestrom that SJK failed to score; in the other four, they scored three or more goals. However, they have no clean sheet in their last five matches; they’ve actually conceded two or more goals in three of their last five games. The same is the case away from home, they have no clean sheet in five.
