Mura will invite Sfîntul Gheorghe to the Fazanerija Stadium in the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League first-round qualifying on Thursday.

The first leg tie at the Zimbru Stadium last week ended in a 2-1 win for Mura, who took a tiny step towards qualifying for the Conference League group stage fixture for the second season in a row.

Tio Cipot's goal gave them the lead in the 65th minute of the game and were helped by Nicolai Calance's own goal in the 73rd minute.

Second-half substitute Jibril Ibrahim pulled one goal back for the then-hosts to give his side a fighting chance in the second leg. Both teams have had a week's rest to prepare for the second leg and will be looking to make it count here.

Mura kick off their league campaign on Sunday while Gheorghe are not in action until the end of the month.

Mura vs Sfîntul Gheorghe Prediction

The first leg was closely contested between the two sides and an own goal proved to be the difference that gave Mura an advantage. At home, they are expected to put in at least a similar or even better performance.

Overturning a one-goal deficit in the away game will be difficult for Sfîntul Gheorghe and we are backing the hosts to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Mura 1-0 Sfîntul Gheorghe
