Jagiellonia welcome Petrocub to the Chorten Arena in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday.

The hosts will look to build on their 3-1 win at Zaglebie in the Polish Ekstraklasa over the weekend. Jesus Imaz and Kristoffer Hansen scored first-half goals to put Jagiellonia 2-0 up at the break, while Imaz completed his brace in the 58th minute. Aleks Lawniczak pulled one back for Zaglebie with 15 minutes left.

Petrocub, meanwhile, shared the spoils in a 1-1 home draw with Sheriff Tiraspol in the Moldovan Super Liga. They went behind to Cedric Badolo's 41st-minute strike before Marin Caruntu drew the game level with 11 minutes remaining.

The White-Blacks now shift their attention to the continent where their opening game was a harrowing 4-1 home defeat to Paphos, while Jagiellonia claimed a shock 2-1 win at Copenhagen.

Jagiellonia vs Petrocub Prediction

Jagiellonia made their debut in the main stage of a UEFA club competition three weeks ago and marked the occasion with a special victory.

Jaga went behind to an early goal to Copenhagen but ended the game with a memorable comeback victory, scoring the winner in the seventh minute of injury time. That victory was a major shock, as the Polish outfit were the underdogs, but they enter the game this time as the favourites.

This is also Petrocub's maiden appearance in the main stage of a European club competition. However, they had contrasting fortunes compared to Jagiellonia in their opening game, suffering a heavy defeat in front of their fans.

Expect Jagiellonia to claim a multi-goal victory with goals at both ends.

Prediction: Jagiellonia 3-1 Petrocub
