Spartak Trnava to finish off Legia Warsaw in the Champions League

Spartak Trnava to finish off Legia Warsaw in the Champions League

On Tuesday night, Spartak Trnava host Legia Warsaw in the Champions League second qualifying round second leg.

The home side recorded a very creditable 2-0 win in the Polish capital in the first leg and their Champions League fate is now in their own hands.

The first leg of this tie was only Spartak Trnava’s third game in the Champions league, as this season is their debut campaign in the competition. The Slovakian side are unbeaten in their three games in Europe’s elite competition, having seen off Zrinjski of Bosnia in the first qualifying round.

All three of the home sides games in this competition have been low scoring, producing under 2.5 goals, so do not expect a goal fest from this clash. They are likely to be disciplined as they know they are control of the tie, so can afford to sit back slightly.

Unlike their hosts, Legia Warsaw are old hands at playing Champions league football. The Polish side’s recent record in the competition is also pretty impressive, as the visitors have won six of their last eight games in Europe’s elite competition.

The first leg defeat ended a run of three consecutive wins in the competition for the team from the Polish capital. The fact that Legia had also managed to keep clean sheets in all six of those aforementioned eight games shows just how well Spartak played in the first leg.

The visitor’s recent away record in the Champions league is poor, as the Polish side has lost four of their last six games in the competition. Their recent away games have been high scoring though, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five outings.

Forebet predicts that Spartak Trnava will record a victory in a low scoring game to make it through to the next round of the Champions League.
