Legia Warsaw to progress past Cork in the Champions League
On Tuesday night, Legia Warsaw host Cork City in the second leg of the Champions League first qualifying round. The first leg at
Legia Warsaw has an impressive recent record in the Champions League, as the team from Poland’s capital have now won five of their last six games in Europe’s elite competition.
Although their last six games in the competition have been spread over two years, the Polish side has an impressive defensive record in the competition, keeping clean sheets in five of their last six outings.
Legia have a relatively strong home record in the Champions league of late, as the Polish side has suffered just one defeat in their last 13 games on home soil. The home team have also won their previous three home games on their own patch in the Champions League without conceding a goal.
The visitors have an uphill task ahead of them in overturning the first leg deficit. Unlike the home side, the Irish team has minimal Champions league experience.
In fact, before this season City have only played in the competition in one previous campaign back in 2006. The visitor’s only Champions league victory came in their first game in the competition in 2006 against Cypriot side Apollon.
Cork heads into this game on the back of a three-game Champions League losing streak that stretches back 12 years. The Irish team has failed to score in their last three games in Europe’s elite competition.
The visitors have only played two games in this competition, failing to win either, picking up one draw and suffering a defeat.
Forebet predicts that the home side will record a victory in a low scoring encounter to book their place in the next round of the competition.
