Atromitos vs Legia Prediction & Betting tips
The Polish “Legion” is visiting the “Fearless” from Athens. In the stands, as in the first leg of the Europa League qualification, a real highlight is imminent. First-class football was searched in vain on the field, however. The first leg between Legia Warsaw and Atromitos Athens was anything but a sporting highlight, so the spectacle on the stands was a consolation for the spectators.
Despite immense support in the Polish cauldron it was not enough for Legia Warsaw victory. The team of coach Aleksandar Vukovic was too reckless with their chances. However, Legia benefited from the poor performance of the Greek guests, who scored only one shot on goal in the first leg.
Statistically, Legia Warsaw has delivered a dominant appearance. On constructive play structure had improved in the Poles in contrast to the qualifying round against KuPS a lot, on the poor chance utilization but also changed in the home game against Atromitos not much.
Let’s review the performance of the Greeks, is also in the second leg anything but an Atromitos Athens against Legia Warsaw forecast – the odds show it – on the progress of the Poles a surprise. The second leg will be on Wednesday night at 17:00 at the Peristeri Stadium!
Atromitos Athens:
The Greeks have not really given many arguments to tip Atromitos Athens against Legia Warszawa for a home win. Too weak was the idea of the “fearless” who showed a disastrous performance in Warsaw. In the return leg, Atromitos will benefit from the home advantage at the Peristeri Stadium, but it will not be clear if it will be a better game than in the first leg.
Coach Giannis Anastasiou was happy with the goalless draw in Warsaw. The defense of Atromitos could not really counter and only benefited from the miserable chance exploitation of Legia. In the second leg much will have to improve, otherwise it would be no surprise if the home side against the strong Poland under the wheels.
The “fearless” from Athens came off lightly in the high-scoring qualification matches against Dunajska Streda. Despite five-defensive chain Atromitos could not convince in the defensive game. To keep the zero in the second leg, is therefore a mammoth task.
In the most recent transfer window, Atromitos has mainly strengthened with free transfer players. Due to the small financial scope, the entry into the group stage of the Europa League would be a financial blessing for the club.
Legia Warsaw:
Aleksandar Vukovic wants to avoid the next EL-out with Legia Warsaw at all costs. The current Legia coach had to retire early last year with his Polish legion, then against the big underdog from Luxembourg. In the most recent qualifying round against KuPS Legia won opportunities over chances and came off against the Finnish representatives but only lightly.
In qualifying against Atromitos this time everything should run better. In the end, although there was a playful improvement, the miserable chance exploitation also held in the home game against the Greeks. 16 corners, 28 shot attempts and almost 66% possession of the ball were indications for the dominant performance of the Poles.
Legia could not prevail despite the great support of the local fans and now guest in Athens. If the team of Vukovic build on the strong performance, an away win at Atromitos is realistic. Already a goal-rich draw would make Legia Warsaw eligible for the Europa League play-offs.
Qualitatively Legia is much better occupied than the home side from Athens. The most important offensive man in the squad is undoubtedly Carlitos. The Spanish striker had delivered considerable stats with 16 goals and six assists last season, but could not match them this season. In the second leg, the Spaniard will probably be given preference over Kulenovic, who too carelessly dealt with his chances in the home game against Atromitos.
Due to the double burden of the Polish Ekstraklasa Legia Warsaw got free play last weekend and was thus able to collect forces for the important second leg.
