Jagiellonia produced an impressive performance against Rangers in the previous round of the Europa League qualifiers, winning 2-1 in Poland before holding on to a 1-1 draw at the Ibrox Stadium.

The Polish side looked dangerous in transition across the two legs, as they managed ten shots with seven on target in the home fixture against Rangers. This upcoming clash against Iberia looks like a much easier matchup on paper, and Jagiellonia will once again hope to take a positive result into the second leg. 

Iberia needed extra time to overcome Larne in the previous round, following a goalless draw in Northern Ireland. Prior to that, they were beaten 3-1 by Slovan Bratislava over two legs. The Georgian side come into this clash as notable underdogs, and Jagiellonia should be able to capitalise.

PAOK dropped into the Conference League after suffering a 4-2 aggregate defeat against Anderlecht last time out, but they now have an ideal opportunity to bounce back from that setback.

The Greek side are not short of experience on the European stage, and visiting sides often find it difficult to come away from the Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki with any points. In fact, PAOK were the only side in the Greek top flight last season to go unbeaten at home - they won 11 of their 13 matches in total. 

Brann won’t be used to playing a side as strong as PAOK, and their form this season has been mixed. Brann currently sit sixth in the Norwegian Eliteserien, with the record of eight wins, one draw and eight losses. Their defensive record has been poor, with 27 goals conceded in that time, and PAOK will be able to take advantage of any defensive weaknesses.

Lech Poznan come into this first leg after securing a convincing 6-0 aggregate victory over KI Klaksvik in the previous round.

The Polish champions only managed a narrow 1-0 win at home, but they were much more clinical in the return fixture, putting five goals past their opponents from the Faroe Islands, and that will fill them with confidence coming into this clash. 

However, Thun aren’t a side to underestimate, and they should be much more competitive than Klaksvik. They came away with a 6-0 win against Saxon Sports last time out, after beating Vikingur Reykjavik 5-3 on aggregate.

Goals have been a target whenever Thun are playing, and they usually don’t struggle to find the back of the net. Keeping Lech Poznan at bay will be their biggest challenge here, though. It’s a clash between two strong sides, title-holders in their respective divisions, so it promises to be an intriguing contest.

Braga played out a goalless stalemate against Dinamo Minsk last time out, which was all they needed to do to win the tie, but this clash against Austria Vienna looks set to be much more open and entertaining.

The visitors travel to Portugal as underdogs, but they have every reason to approach this match with confidence, and it isn’t really their style to sit back and absorb pressure. 

Both legs of Vienna’s previous European tie finished 2-1, as they eventually prevailed after  a penalty shootout. Vienna eased past FK Liepaja with a 5-1 aggregate victory prior to that.

The Austrian side have scored 15 goals in eight matches across all competitions this season, which shows how they can carry a threat in the final third, and Braga will have to be wary of that.

Copenhagen have started this season in excellent form, and they are still unbeaten after seven matches across all competitions. Impressively, the Danish side have emerged victorious in six of those games, with a total of 23 goals scored.

Copenhagen have bagged multiple goals in all of their matches so far, which shows just how effective they are going forward. This price for Copenhagen to win looks great value, not only because of their recent form, but also because they deserve to be playing at a higher level than the Conference League. 

Copenhagen competed in the Champions League last season, and despite not making it out of the league phase, they did win two of their eight games. Inter Turku deserve credit for making it to this stage, but this promises to be a real challenge for them as there is a significant gulf in quality between the two sides.
