Aarhus vs Egnatia - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

AGF Aarhus welcome KF Egnatia Rrogozhinë to the AutoC Park Randers on Thursday, 22 October 2026 (21:00 CET) for Matchday 2 of the UEFA Conference League 2026/27 league phase. The Danish side are still searching for their first European points of the campaign after falling 1-0 to KAA Gent at the Planet Group Arena on 15 October — a late goal from substitute Héritier Goore sealed the defeat in what was AGF's Conference League debut. Back in domestic action, Jacob Neestrup's men have also suffered a setback against familiar foes, losing 0-2 at home to Midtjylland in the Danish Superliga on 2 September. Those results show a side that is competitive but still looking for attacking fluency on the big stage.

Egnatia, meanwhile, continue to punch above their weight as Albania's surprise package. Edlir Tetova's team opened their Conference League account with a spirited 1-1 draw against Midtjylland at the Air Albania Stadium, Ildi Gruda's 26th-minute header cancelled out by Cho Gue-Sung before half-time. That result extended an impressive continental run that saw Egnatia edge past Neman Grodno on penalties in Champions League qualifying and defeat Shkëndija over two legs before dropping down from the Europa League playoff round against LSK. With Eljon Sota, Altin Kryeziu, Daniel Adjessa, Alessandro Albanese and Ildi Gruda forming the spine of the 2026/27 squad, the Albanians will arrive in Denmark confident they can frustrate their hosts once again.

Ajax vs Atalanta - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

Ajax host Atalanta at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Thursday 22 October 2026 in a UEFA Conference League 2026/27 League phase Matchday 2 tie, with Ajax needing a response after the 2-1 defeat at Hajduk Split and Atalanta arriving full of confidence from their 3-1 home win over Pafos.

For the 2026/2027 season, Ajax’s squad under Míchel includes Marc-André ter Stegen, Youri Baas, Thilo Kehrer, Lucas Rosa, Owen Wijndal, Sofyan Amrabat, Davy Klaassen, Julian Brandt, Oscar Gloukh, Steven Berghuis, Kasper Dolberg, Tolu Arokodare and Viktor Tsygankov, while Maurizio Sarri’s Atalanta can call on Marco Carnesecchi, Giorgio Scalvini, Odilon Kossounou, Sead Kolašinac, Raoul Bellanova, Davide Zappacosta, Éderson, Mario Pašalić, Lazar Samardžić, Charles De Ketelaere, Eljif Elmas, Giacomo Raspadori, Gianluca Scamacca and Nikola Krstović.

Borac Banja Luka vs KuPS - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

Borac Banja Luka welcome KuPS Kuopio to the City Stadium on Thursday, 22 October 2026, for a crucial UEFA Conference League 2026/27 league-phase encounter on Matchday 2 of 6. Both clubs lost their opening fixtures and sit level on zero points, which makes this home tie in Banja Luka a genuine six-pointer so early in the competition. Kick-off is scheduled for 21:00 local time, and Vinko Marinović's men will be eager to turn their European campaign around in front of their passionate home supporters.

The two teams arrive in very different emotional states despite identical results. Borac pushed Panathinaikos all the way in Athens before falling to a narrow 2-1 defeat in their opener, a performance that showed they can compete with stronger opposition away from home. KuPS, by contrast, were involved in a goal-filled thriller in Kuopio but were beaten 2-4 by Trabzonspor, conceding four times at home — a worrying defensive signal ahead of a trip to Bosnia. The Finns also dropped points in their domestic Veikkausliiga Championship Round run-in, drawing 1-1 away at Gnistan earlier in September, though they remain one of Finland's most organised and dangerous European sides.

Braga vs Gent - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

SC Braga host KAA Gent at Estadio Municipal de Braga on Thursday, 22 October 2026 in the UEFA Conference League 2026/2027 league phase, and the Portuguese side need a response after a painful week: they were beaten 3-0 away to FC Copenhagen, where Ricardo Horta had a second-half equaliser ruled out by VAR before late goals decided the game, and they also fell 1-3 to Sporting CP in Liga Portugal. The 0-0 at Santa Clara in the 0-0 link shows a team still competitive but too blunt in the final third, so Carlos Vicens is expected to lean on experience through Joao Moutinho, captain Ricardo Horta, Gustaf Lagerbielke, Sergio Barcia, Bright Arrey-Mbi, Victor Gomez and Denis Huseinbasic, while Jonas Wind, Pau Victor, Gabriel Silva, Fran Navarro and Jovan Milosevic give Braga several ways to attack a Gent defence that has been difficult to break down.

Gent arrive in Portugal with more momentum after edging AGF Aarhus 1-0 in their own Conference League opener, a tight game that underlined the Belgian club’s patience, set-piece threat and ability to win late. The 2026/2027 KAA Gent squad built by Davy Roef and Kjell Peersman in goal, Christian Burgess, Siebe Van der Heyden, Maksim Paskotsi, Matties Volckaert, Tiago Araujo and Mouhamed El Bachir Ngom across the back, Mathias Delorge, Tibe De Vlieger, Leonardo Lopes, Laszlo Benes, Pieter Gerkens, Aime Omgba and Abdelkahar Kadri in midfield, plus Michel-Ange Balikwisha, Momodou Sonko, Josue Vergara, Ibrahima Cisse, Hyllarion Goore, Max Dean and Kyrell Wilson in attack, has enough rotation to pressure a Braga side missing Sikou Niakate to a long-term Achilles tendon injury.

Crvena zvezda vs FC Copenhagen - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

Crvena Zvezda host FC Copenhagen on Thursday, 22 October 2026 at the Rajko Mitić Stadium in Belgrade, in matchday two of the 2026/27 UEFA Conference League league phase. Both sides opened their European campaigns last week, and this clash promises to be one of the standout fixtures of the round as the Serbian champions look to bounce back in front of their passionate home crowd. The clash in Belgrade kicks off at 18:45 CET, and with both clubs aiming for a top-table finish in the league phase, three points here could prove decisive for qualification to the knockout rounds later in the season.

Crvena Zvezda come into this fixture on the back of a painful defeat in Switzerland, where they fell 3 : 2 away to Lugano on matchday one despite twice leading through goals from Timi Max Elsnik and Rade Krunic, and you can relive that thriller here: 3 : 2. FC Copenhagen, by contrast, produced a dominant display on home soil, sweeping Sporting Braga aside 3 : 0 at Parken thanks to a Mohamed Elyounoussi opener and two late goals from substitute Andreas Cornelius, as shown in 3 : 0. The Danish side's European form is backed by an impressive domestic run under Bo Svensson, who has his team pressing high and attacking with real pace through Thapelo Maseko and Robert on the wings.

Getafe vs Lugano - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

Getafe CF welcome FC Lugano to the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on Thursday, 22 October 2026, for a UEFA Conference League league phase matchday 2 clash that pits José Bordalás's battle-hardened Spaniards against Mattia Croci-Torti's high-flying Swiss side. The Azulones are still buzzing from their European return after six years away, having snatched a dramatic late point in Romania on matchday 1 when Nemanja Gudelj struck from distance to rescue 1-1 against Universitatea Craiova, while Lugano produced one of the results of the round by coming from behind with two late goals to beat Red Star Belgrade 3-2 in a thriller at the AIL Arena. Both sides therefore arrive unbeaten in Europe, but Getafe's domestic form has been mixed — a narrow home win over Málaga (1-0 on 20 September) was followed by a heavy defeat at Camp Nou (0-3 against Barcelona on 10 October), leaving Bordalás demanding a response in front of his own fans.

For the 2026/27 campaign, Getafe have reshaped their squad around defensive steel and midfield grit. David Soria remains first choice in goal, shielded by a back line featuring Djené, Abdel Abqar, Zaid Romero, Kiko Femenía, Johan Mojica and loanee Andrés García. The engine room has been rebuilt with summer signings Mario Martín (from Real Madrid), Ramón Terrats (from Villarreal), Orel Mangala (on loan from Lyon) and the experienced Nemanja Gudelj, alongside Francho Serrano. In attack, Bordalás can call on Enes Ünal, Borja Mayoral, Martín Satriano, Christantus Uche, Juanmi and the on-loan Iván Azón, though the long-term knee injury to Uche remains a concern.

Iberia 1999 vs Mjallby - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

Iberia 1999 host Mjällby in a 2026–27 UEFA Conference League league-phase clash on Thursday 22 October 2026 at Mikheil Meskhi Stadium in Tbilisi, with both clubs still new to this stage of major European competition. The latest team news is mixed: Iberia arrive after a 2-0 defeat away to Sint-Truiden, while Mjällby opened with a confident 2-0 home win over Inter Club d'Escaldes, so the Swedish champions carry the cleaner momentum into Matchday 2.

Using European odds, the market prices this as a tight away-leaning contest rather than a home banker: roughly 2.80 for Iberia 1999, 3.40 for the draw and 2.45 for Mjällby. That fits the recent pattern because Mjällby are structured, physical and efficient in transition, but their Allsvenskan rhythm has been uneven, including a 0-0 draw with Västerås SK earlier in the season, while Iberia’s European qualification campaign showed they can be stubborn at home even when short of elite depth.

Jablonec vs Brighton - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

FK Jablonec host Brighton & Hove Albion on Thursday 22 October 2026 at the Stadion Střelnice in Jablonec nad Nisou, in what promises to be a fascinating UEFA Conference League league phase clash. Kick-off is scheduled for 18:45 CEST (17:45 UK time), with the Czech side looking to bounce back from a heartbreaking defeat in Germany, while Fabian Hürzeler's Brighton arrive in the Czech Republic as one of the most in-form teams in Europe. The Seagulls, competing in only their second continental campaign, are among the favourites to lift the trophy this season, having already scored 29 goals in just 10 matches in all competitions in 2026/27.

Jablonec's latest outing ended in a narrow 2-3 defeat away to Bundesliga leaders Freiburg, a match in which Lubos Kozel's men were undone by two second-half own goals despite fighting back twice through Antonín Rusek and Garang Kuol. Prior to that European setback, the Czechs had shown their resilience with a hard-fought 1-1 draw at Bohemians in the Chance Liga, and they famously eliminated Rangers in the qualifying play-offs earlier in the season. Kozel will rely on experienced figures such as captain Jan Chramosta, goalkeeper Jan Hanus, midfielders Richard Sedlácek and Vakhtang Tchanturishvili, and the pace of Garang Kuol, but keeping Brighton's attack quiet for 90 minutes will be a monumental task for this compact, well-organised Jablonec side.

Kairat Almaty vs Panathinaikos - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

Kairat Almaty host Panathinaikos at Almaty Central Stadium on 22 October 2026 in a UEFA Conference League league-phase match that already carries a clear favorite in European odds, with Kairat priced around 4.10, the draw near 3.82, and Panathinaikos as short as 1.89 for an away win. Kairat arrive after a resilient 1-1 draw away to Riga, where Marc Gual’s early penalty was protected by Temirlan Anarbekov’s saves, but the Kazakh side still needs to turn brave defensive moments into cleaner build-up against elite pressure.

Panathinaikos come into this fixture with stronger recent rhythm, having beaten Borac Banja Luka 2-1 through Cyriel Dessers’ penalty and Kings Kangwa’s finish, while their cup win over Niki Volos finished 1-0. Under Jacob Neestrup, the 2026/2027 squad blends Iñaki Peña in goal, Stefan de Vrij and Davide Calabria in defence, Pedro Chirivella, Azzedine Ounahi and Imrân Louza in midfield, plus Facundo Pellistri, Kings Kangwa, Dessers and Levi García in attack.

Kauno Zalgiris vs Brann - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

Reigning Lithuanian champions Kauno Žalgiris welcome Norwegian side Brann to the S. Dariaus ir S. Girėno stadionas in Kaunas on Thursday, 22 October 2026, for Matchday 2 of the 2026/27 UEFA Conference League League Phase. It is a historic occasion for Željko Sopić's men, as they play their first-ever home game in the main draw of a major European competition, but they arrive with confidence shaken after a chastening 0-4 defeat away to Brighton on matchday one. Brann, by contrast, are looking to build on their opening success, having edged past Lincoln Red Imps 2-1 in Bergen to make a winning start to their European campaign under returning head coach Eirik Horneland.

On current form, the gulf between the two squads is significant. Kauno Žalgiris were outclassed by Brighton, conceding four goals while mustering barely any threat of their own, though their domestic form remains strong as they chase a league and cup double in Lithuania. Brann's domestic season has been disappointing, slipping to a 3-1 defeat at Vålerenga in the Eliteserien last weekend, but their European performances have been far more convincing: the Pride of Bergen produced ten shots on target and 17 corners against Lincoln, the best attacking numbers of any team in the Conference League on matchday one. Chilean winger Niklas Castro has been the standout, scoring six goals in six European outings this season, including a brace against the Imps.

Lincoln Red Imps vs Twente - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

Lincoln Red Imps host FC Twente at Europa Point Stadium on Thursday 22 October 2026 in a UEFA Conference League league-phase match, with Lincoln still chasing their first group points after a 2-1 defeat at Brann and Twente arriving as the clear favourites.

The 2026/27 squad news points to Lincoln relying on Jaylan Hankins, Julliani Eersteling, Christian Rutjens, Nano González, Joe, Toni García, Graeme Torrilla, Mandi and Álvaro Romero, with Gabri Cardozo suspended; Twente’s 2026/27 pool includes Joël Drommel, Bart van Rooij, Robin Pröpper, Ruud Nijstad, Aske Adelgaard, Ramiz Zerrouki, Daouda Weidmann, Daan Rots, Kristian Hlynsson, Sondre Ørjasæter and Wout Weghorst, while Lars Unnerstall, Max Bruns and Stav Lemkin are injury doubts.

Midtjylland vs St. Truiden - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

FC Midtjylland welcome Sint-Truidense VV to the MCH Arena in Herning on Thursday, 22 October 2026 (20:00 CET) for the second matchday of the UEFA Conference League league phase, and the Danish hosts will be eager to make home advantage count after being held to a 1-1 draw away to Egnatia in Albania on matchday one. Thomas Thomasberg's side bounced back in domestic competition with a convincing 3-0 win over Nordsjaelland, and their 2026/2027 squad — built around captain Rasmus Kristensen, South Korean striker Cho Gue-sung and in-form forward Mileta Rajovic — looks well equipped for a deep European run. St. Truiden, coached by Frédéric De Meyer, opened their Conference League campaign with a 2-0 home victory over Iberia 1999, but their Belgian Pro League form has been erratic, with heavy defeats to Union Saint-Gilloise (0-3) and Westerlo (0-2) underlining defensive vulnerabilities.

Team news is a significant factor heading into this fixture. Midtjylland are without several important players through injury: Victor Bak, Magnus Jensen, goalkeeper Elías Ólafsson, Beni Junior, Martin Erlić and Mikel Gogorza are all sidelined, which may force Thomasberg to rotate in midfield and between the posts. St. Truiden's only confirmed absentee is Arbnor Muja, but the Belgians' rearguard has shipped goals all season — their road trip to Cercle Brugge ended in a wild 3-3 draw, and they have kept just three clean sheets in their last ten matches. De Meyer will rely on keeper Leo Kokubo, defenders Taiga Hata, Loïc Mbe Soh and Visar Musliu, and the attacking trio of Samed Bazdar, Ilias Sebaoui and Ryan Merlen to keep the game alive.

Monaco vs Freiburg - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

AS Monaco welcome SC Freiburg to the Stade Louis II on Thursday, 22 October 2026, in one of the headline fixtures of the UEFA Conference League league phase, and it will be a historic first-ever European meeting between the two sides. Monaco, playing in their debut Conference League campaign after eliminating Górnik Zabrze 7-3 on aggregate in the play-offs, sit top of Ligue 1 under Filipe Luís and arrived here on the back of a hard-fought 2-1 away win over CSKA Sofia on Matchday 1. The hosts are enjoying a superb autumn: an unbeaten domestic run including a 2-1 win over Lens at home (2-1) and a gritty 2-2 draw with Toulouse (2-2) kept them at the summit, though Paris Brunner's suspension and Ansu Fati's gradual return to full sharpness remain talking points in the build-up.

Freiburg arrive in the Principality third in the Bundesliga with a +10 goal difference, having lost last season's Europa League final to Aston Villa before dropping into this competition. Julian Schuster's men also opened their European campaign with a win, edging FK Jablonec 3-2 at Europa-Park Stadion despite a nervy finish, and their domestic form has been equally strong with a 2-1 victory over Schalke and a 2-2 draw at Eintracht Frankfurt. The German side's trademark structure — patient build-up, set-piece threat and disciplined pressing — will test Monaco's back line, and the visitors have reported no major absentees for this trip, a notable boost given their long injury lists of previous seasons.

Nordsjaelland vs CSKA Sofia - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

FC Nordsjaelland host CSKA Sofia in a 2026/2027 UEFA Conference League fixture that already looks tilted toward the Danish side, with European decimal odds around 1.75 for the home win, 3.90 for the draw and 4.40 for CSKA Sofia; the latest team news is expected to confirm Nordsjaelland’s high-tempo 2026/2027 squad list, while our prediction is Nordsjaelland 3:1 CSKA Sofia.

Nordsjaelland’s season narrative has been built on aggressive pressing, quick wide rotations and a young 2026/2027 core trusted to attack space early, and their recent rhythm includes 1–2 away to Hearts plus 1–1 at Midtjylland, results that keep confidence high even if the Copenhagen away test earlier in September demanded cleaner defending.

Pafos vs Riga FC - Thursday, 22 October 2026

league: Europe - Conference League

Pafos FC welcome Riga FC to the Alphamega Stadium in Kolossi on Thursday, 22 October 2026 (kick-off 18:45 CET) for Matchday 2 of the UEFA Conference League 2026/27 league phase. The Cypriot side are looking to bounce back on home soil after a difficult opening round, while the Latvian champions arrive in Limassol aiming to build on a solid result from their first fixture and prove they can compete away from Riga.

Form and recent results point to two teams heading in slightly different directions. Pafos suffered a 3-1 defeat away to Atalanta in Bergamo on Matchday 1, where Eljif Elmas' early goal set the Italians on their way, despite Pafos showing moments of quality in attack — a result reflected in the 3-1 scoreline. Riga FC, meanwhile, were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Kairat Almaty, salvaging a point through Salah-Eddine Oulad M'Hand after Marc Gual's early penalty, and even missing a spot-kick of their own through Mohamed Badamosi — full details of that encounter can be found in the 1-1 match review.
