FK Zorya Luhansk hosts Espanyol in the second leg of the Europa League qualification finals. The match will be played on Thursday, August 29th at Metalurh Stadion (Zaporizhia)
Having lost 1-3 in Barcelona, Zorya doesn’t consider it a tragedy yet. On the contrary, 3 days after the match in the Europa League, it won its championship match in Lviv, which was not hospitable for teams from the east of Ukraine. Zorya beat Karpaty with a 0-1 score.

Espanyol won the first match. It is true. But the team conceded first. Moreover, it lost the first half at all. But the Spaniards showed who was the boss in the second half of the match. They managed to score 3 goals. And they could have done more. Granero didn’t score from a penalty kick. As for the local championship, Espanyol managed to play only in a draw against Alaves in the 2nd round. And indeed, the team has only point after 2 matches in LaLiga.
On the one hand, it seems that Zorya’s has no chances of advancing further after a 1-3 defeat in Spain. But on the other hand, the Ukrainians managed to score a goal on the road. Why cannot they score a couple of goals at home? At least, they will try to do it. Zorya has players who know how to score. The same Kochergin scored in Spain. Or an experienced Budkivskiy who played in Russia, Belgium, France. Or a young but promising trainee of Dynamo Kyiv, Rusyn. However, being carried away by their attacks, at least one of which is likely to end in a goal, the hosts will probably no longer have time to cover all the zones at their penalty area. Espanyol will have more than one chance for quick counterattacks. And the visitors will also manage to convert their attack in the goal at least once. So, it’s better not to guess who will advance to the next round and choose the option with the exchange of goals.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
