Molde will face Legia Warsaw at the Aker Stadion on Thursday in the first leg of their 2024-25 UEFA Europa Conference League last-16 clash. The home side endured a thoroughly underwhelming run of results in the league phase last year but ultimately did enough to secure a spot in the top 24.

They were drawn against Shamrock Rovers in the knockout playoffs and were expected to win comfortably but were beaten 1-0 in the first-leg following a first-half red card to Valdemar Lund. The Norwegian outfit, however, picked up a 1-0 win in the second leg on the road before going on to win the tie on penalties.

Legia Warsaw, meanwhile, enjoyed a brilliant start to their Conference League campaign, winning their first four matches in the league phase. They, however, suffered defeats in the final two rounds, losing 2-1 to Lugano on home turf and then 3-1 to Swedish side Djurgarden on the road a week later.

They have had their struggles domestically upon returning to action after the winter break but will remain hopeful of securing a positive result here ahead of the return leg in Poland next Thursday.

Molde vs Legia Warsaw Prediction

Molde have won two of their last three competitive games after winning just one of their previous eight. They have had their struggles at the Aker Stadion of late but will head into the midweek clash as slight favorites as they look to capitalize on their home advantage.

Wojskowi, meanwhile, have won three of their last four matches and will likely be satisfied with a draw this week to finish the job in front of their home fans next Thursday.
