Hungarian side Paks will be hosting Czech side Mladá Boleslav in their Conference League Play-off return leg. This tie stands at 2-2 after a dramatic end to the first leg. Read on for our prediction of the match.

Both teams have the chance to secure a place in the league phase of this competition after the first meeting. Playing at home, Paks will look to own this leg of the tie. They have six wins in their opening 10 matches but lately things have slowed down a bit for them.

Inside the last four matches, they suffered their only defeat so far and they have just a win. Paks have also struggled defensively in those four matches, failing to keep a clean sheet, and conceding eight goals. They did score 10 times in their latest five matches though.

Mladá Boleslav benefitted from an own goal to take the lead in the first leg. That was before a frantic ending to the game saw three goals scored in the final 10 minutes. It was Mladá Boleslav who needed a stoppage time goal to avoid defeat while Paks had Bence Lenzser sent off.

From a game that saw four goals scored in the second half, we expect another high-scoring match in the return leg. Mladá Boleslav, like their hosts, have struggled in defence though are good in attack. We may be headed to another eventful encounter, looking at the prize ahead.

Neither team will want to sit back, given the winner advances to the league phase. For Mladá Boleslav, a three-match winless run away from home will be the major concern.
