Spartak Trnava vs Newtown Predictions

• Trnava won their opening game in the Slovakian topflight on Saturday, 2-0
• Trnava made it to the Third Qualifying Round of this competition last season
• Newtown have never progressed beyond this round in a European competition

Hosts are in familiar territory

Trnava enter the competition in the Second Qualifying Round having finished third in the Slovakian topflight last season. Trnava are in familiar territory having made it to the Third Qualifying Round of this very competition last season and they have fond memories of European competitions having made the Group Stage of the 2018/19 Europa League.

The team Trnava finished directly above in the Slovakian topflight last season, Dun. Streda, have already dispatched British opposition in the First Qualifying Round and Thursday’s hosts will be full of confidence having won their opening Fortuna Liga game of the season 2-0, last Saturday.

A bridge too far for Welsh side Newtown

Newtown scrapped by HB Torshavn, of the Faroe Islands, in the First Qualifying Round and will need to vastly improve on that effort if they are to go any further in the competition. Newtown have never been beyond this stage in a European competition in their history, and there is every chance that both the occasions and their opposition get the better of them on Thursday.

Newtown didn’t muster a shot on target in the away leg of their First Qualifying Round tie and a wide margin home victory looks a stark possibility in this one. Over 2.5 Match Goals and Both Teams to Score – No, will be the main selection for Thursday’s game. The hosts are expected to take care of business with little to think about coming back the other way. 3-0 to Trnava will be the correct score prediction.
