Djurgardens IF welcome Lech Poznan to the Tele2 Arena

Djurgardens IF welcome Lech Poznan to the Tele2 Arena for the second leg of their Europa Conference League round-of-16 clash on Thursday evening.

The visitors have a two-goal advantage after the first leg in Poland and will be confident of securing a place in the quarter-finals with a good result here.

Players to watch: Not necessarily known for his profligacy, Djurgården’s Joel Asoro has netted his three UECL goals this term in the second half.

Prolific on the road, Mikael Ishak has delivered three of Lech’s last four UECL away goals, all of which came in the second half.

Hot stat: Lech have conceded exactly once in five of their seven UECL away games this term.

Djurgardens IF 0-1 Lech Poznan FT

Djurgarden have to attack on home soil if they are to reach the quarter-finals of this year’s Conference League, although focusing too much on clawing back the two-goal deficit could leave them exposed defensively.

Poznan have conceded just three goals in their last five matches in all competitions, and we believe they will record a clean sheet here to book their spot in the last eight.
