Druids take on the visitors Trakai in the first-leg fight of the 1/16 final stage of the UEFA Europa League Qualification. The game will be played on Thursday, June 28th.
Each season Druids face some problems in the Welsh Premier League. It is quite difficult for the club to compete on equal with the best teams and claim for some serious achievements. The side has managed to occupy only the sixth place in the elite division standings last season, having earned 31 points in 22 clashes played. The club’s offense demonstrated poor effectiveness, having scored just 23 goals, however, its defense doesn’t impress either with 25 goals conceded. In the latest fights conducted in front of their supporters Druids celebrated three triumphs over Cardiff Metropolitan 1:0, Connahs Q. 2:0 and Bala 3:1.

Meanwhile, Trakai are one of the strongest clubs of the Lithuanian A Lyga, nevertheless, the team has been struggling quite often in recent years. Last season "Riteriai" settle on the third position in the elite division table with 24 points collected after 19 rounds behind. The side shows rather strong play in attack, having scored 22 goals just like its defense which conceded 19 goals. In the previous away tackles Trakai have lost to Stumbras 0:1, deserved 1:1 draw against Kauno Zalgiris and broke Panerys 1:0.
It will be the first head-to-head for Druids and Trakai ever. At the moment it is quite difficult to give an advantage to any of the teams, however, I believe that the hosts will not fail with a handsome margin.
Prediction for the match: Druids to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
