We rely on fixed phases. On Thursday, on “Stade Josy Barthel”, we have the first leg of the Dudelange – Kalju duel, from the Europa League preliminaries. See a nice game?
Dudelange – moment form, latest results, statistics
Dudelange won the championship and the Cup in Luxembourg without too much trouble and now has 23 official matches without defeat. However, Dudelange suffered a slight disappointment, being eliminated from qualifying for the Champions League by Valletta (Malta), 2-2, at home, and 1-1, away. After coming down to the Europa League, Dudelange passed Shkendija (Macedonia), 2-1, “out”, and 1-1, on his own. The team coached by the Belgian Ferrera started the new season in Luxembourg, winning, at home, with Muhlenbach, score 3-1.
Kalju – form of moment, last results, statistics
Kalju is only in 4th place in the domestic competition, with 43 points collected after 21 games, goal scoring 41-19. In the last stage, he won, at home, with Kuressaare, score 7-2. The Estonians come from the Champions League, where they were clearly eliminated by Celtic, 0-5, away, and 0-2, on their own ground. In both disputes there were at least 13 corners. Kalju will have some absentees, including Volkov, Tamm and Sobtsenko.
Dudelange vs Kalju Picks
The home team is clear favorite, logical aspect, because it plays a more combinative, more balanced football in the middle of the field. But both teams often carry the ball on the flanks. I saw the duel with CFR last year. In addition, the defenses are quite weak, and the wrong rejections may be more often than expected.
Our Prediction: Draw
Odds: 3.10
