Team News

With such a healthy lead from the first leg, Jagiellonia could rest some players for the home clash with Miki Villar, Jaroslaw Kubicki, Lamine Diaby-Fadiga and Wojciech Laski, who all came off the bench in the first leg, among those hoping for starts.

Forward Jesus Imaz looks set to keep his place in the side after netting a hat-trick in the first game.

Ghanaian midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah is still absent for the visitors due to injury but Cheikhou Dieng and Noel Mbo, who both came on at half-time in the first leg, could be handed places in the XI.

Jagiellonia Bialystok vs Panevezys Odds

Jagiellonia Bialystok are huge favourites at 2/11 to win on Wednesday. Panevezys are 11/1 to pick up a shock victory and the draw is 5/1.

Jagiellonia Bialystok to win to nil @ 4/5

The first leg was largely one-way traffic with Jagiellonia 3-0 up at half-time thanks to Imaz’s treble inside the first half an hour.

Kristoffer Hansen added a fourth with 10 minutes to play to put the Polish side in complete control and it means Panevezys, who are bottom of their domestic league, are looking for a miracle.

The chances of the visitors getting back into the tie are remote and, after they managed just one shot on target in the first game, Panevezys do not look good enough to get on the scoresheet away from home.

Instead, the hosts should further extend their advantage with another victory to nil as they look to underline their superiority.

Jagiellonia Bialystok made it two wins from two at the start of the new Polish season when they won 3-2 at Radomiak Radom on Saturday and should approach the midweek clash with plenty of confidence.

Correct Score - Jagiellonia Bialystok to win 2-0 @ 5/1

A 2-0 victory for Jagiellonia in the second leg would secure an overall 6-0 aggregate win to ensure smooth progress into the third qualifying round of Europe’s premier club competition.

Jagiellonia’s previous best performance in Europe has been reaching the third qualifying round of the Europa League, but they are moving closer to securing a lucrative place in the Champions League main draw and they should maintain their impressive early season momentum with a routine victory over a poor Panevezys side.

Due to the fact they head into the second leg with a four-goal cushion, there is no need for Jagiellonia to push for more goals from the start but they should still be good enough for a two-goal victory as they exert their dominance the more the game develops.
