Maribor vs Birkirkara 13.07.2023 Prediction: UEFA Europa Conference League qualification

Match Overview

Maribor take on Birkirkara in the first round of their UEFA Europa Conference League qualification competition on Thursday at the Ljudski vrt Stadium. The home team will have an obvious edge over their opponents given how well they have done in familiar conditions. Their supporters, who are extremely raucous, will make things difficult for Birkirkara as well.   

Key Highlights

There have been a couple of games played between these two teams in the past, out of which Maribor have won one and drawn one. Birkirkara have never been victorious against Maribor in the past. In fact, it will be strange to note that Birkirkara have not yet scored a goal against Maribor in any of the matches played between the two teams so far.

Injury Report

Neither Maribor nor Birkirkara have any major injuries to report in their side. Sure, there might be a few niggles here and there but nothing very serious.

Prediction

Maribor have an edge over Birkirkara in this game and we expect them to win this match. They have been unbeaten in the last 12 matches they have played at home, and this should give them a lot of confidence. Birkikara, however, will be gladdened by the fact that Maribor have not kept a clean sheet in the last 6 matches that they have played. Still, this appears to be more in favour of Maribor.
