Legia vs Hibernian Prediction & Betting Tips (28 August)

Second confrontation to come between Legia Warsaw and Hibernian during the return match of the Conference League dams. At the edge of this second round, Legia Warsaw could not imagine being as well placed to win its qualification for the group league group phase. Indeed, the Poles made a very nice blow in the first leg by winning on the lawn of Hibernian 1-2. The advantage could even have been more substantial if they had held the scoring when they led 2 to 0 at halftime. This good result, out of their bases, places them in the best conditions before this home return match.

Opposite, Hibernian must have a headache after this disappointment during the first leg, in front of his audience. However, the Ecossais were favoring of the forecasts but they were surprised by an ambitious and opportunistic Polish team. This is not the first time that they have disappointed at home in this conference League since in the previous round, they had also dropped against Partizan Belgrade, shortly missing the 2-3 qualification. The Hibbies will have to achieve a small feat if they want to continue their adventure in this competition.

Legia’s recent domestic form has been mixed, with a 1-0 loss to Wisla Plock exposing some defensive frailties. However, their attacking output remains consistent, having scored in 14 straight European away matches prior to this tie. The return of Bartosz Kapustka from suspension adds midfield depth, and Ruben Vinagre’s overlapping runs could stretch Hibs’ flanks. The Warsaw crowd will be expectant, especially after the club’s Super Cup triumph over Lech Poznań earlier this summer. With the stakes high and group stage football on the line, Legia’s experience in continental competitions may prove decisive.

Expect a tense, tactical battle with moments of individual brilliance. Hibernian will likely press early, hoping to unsettle Legia’s rhythm, but the hosts should grow into the game and capitalize on transitional opportunities. Given the first leg’s outcome and both teams’ scoring tendencies, a repeat 2-1 scoreline in favor of Legia feels plausible. That would see the Polish side advance 4-2 on aggregate, while Hibs bow out with pride and promise. The margins are fine, but Warsaw may just tilt the balance with clinical finishing and home advantage.

• Summary: Legia Warszawa is going head to head with Hibernian starting on 28 Aug 2025 at 19:00 UTC at Stadion Wojska Polskiego w Warszawie stadium, Warsaw city, Poland. The match is a part of the UEFA Europa Conference League, Qualification Playoff .
