O. Ljubljana vs Yeni Malatyaspor Prediction & Betting tips
After the storm is before the storm – coach Sergen Yalcin seems to fail already at the first hurdle. The new coach of Yeni Malatyaspor has delivered a 2-2 draw in the first leg of the club’s history in the first EL season and is now anxious to progress. The Turks do not expect an easy task in Slovenia and coach Yalcin is already receiving a lot of criticism at the opening of the new competitive season. After the departure of successful guarantor Erol Bulut would be an early departure of Malatya but not surprising.
Coach Bulut had laid the foundations for success. The new coach Sergen Yalcin has changed his tactical changes but immediately. With its much more offensive orientation Malatyaspor certainly plays well. After the defensive vulnerability from the first leg, Yalcin will have to come up with a much better tactic in the second leg, otherwise it could end badly in Slovenia. Ljubljana is slightly favored against Malatyaspor according to odds. The Slovenians have ensured a good starting position with the 2-2 draw from the first leg and now want to solve the ticket for the next round at home. Whether that Ljubljana against Malatyaspor forecast true, we learn on Thursday evening at 19:00 clock in the stadium Stozice!
Ljubljana:
Europa League qualification and derby against arch-rival NK Maribor – and all within seven days. Olimpija Ljubljana has not had a single week to complete the demanding week with the second leg against Malatyaspor. After an impressive performance on foreign territory, Ljubljana can count against the Turkish EL debutants quite chances to the next round. With the burdensome schedule it remains to be seen how Ljubljana will present itself in the second leg.
At the Slovenian derby against Maribor, there was still the well-deserved point after passionate performance. Despite the early dismissal, Ljubljana had presented solidly throughout the game and had chances to win. Coach Safet Hadzic will be satisfied with the under-score. However, the game was underweighted, but especially since Hadzic did not really have the chance to spare his achievers for the important return leg in the Europa League.
With 90 minutes inferior to the bone, it is now in the home game against Malatyaspor. Really there was not much regeneration time in the seven days. Ljubljana lost the last EL match against RFS from Latvia on home soil. The presentation of the Slovenians was by no means bad at home. With almost 64% possession and 28 shooting attempts, there was a dominant idea, which was ultimately not rewarded. Ljubljana is working on the chance, a victory against Malatyaspor is quite possible. Even a goalless draw would be enough to get ahead.
Malatyaspor:
Set Sergen Yalcin as a long-term solution? Probably a nonsense. His experience and his sporting know-how are undisputed, but the former Turkish international as a coach can not really convince. In emergency situations, Yalcin’s passion as a coach repeatedly saves his teams from relegation – but that’s enough for more. With Yeni Malatyaspor, Yalcin has taken over a team that largely owes its success to the tactical finesse of former coach Bulut.
With little financial resources, Bulut literally “conjured up” the success of Malatya. Disagreements in the summer made sure that the success coach has separated from Malatya despite EL starting right. According to the tactical alignment under Bulut a goal-rich draw in the first leg against Ljubljana would have been unthinkable. A premature departure can not be excluded for the EL debutant. In contrast to the Slovenian opponent Malatyaspor currently has no double burden and could regenerate until the second leg.
Sergen Yalcin has been known as a “super left foot” already during his footballing times as an offensive player. As a coach, Yalcin is also very aggressive and has promising options in the current Malatya squad. The neglected defensive work in the first leg cost Yeni Malatyaspor a great deal against Ljubljana, so it can not be foreseen how Yalcin will play with his side in the second leg. An early goal will probably have the highest priority in order to then be able to take control of the game. Already in the first leg could convince the offensive of Malatyaspor. Big changes in the starting eleven are therefore not to be expected.
