The game of this Smart Acca sees Omonia Nicosia take on Midtjylland in Europa Conference League qualifying.

Midtjylland have had a mixed start to the season, having managed 1-0 and 2-0 victories over Hvidovre and Silkeborg before being thrashed 4-1 away at Lyngby; while in Europa Conference League qualifying they came perilously close to being knocked out by Progres Niederkorn in the last round having blown a 2-0 first leg lead as they suffered a 2-1 loss in Luxembourg.
Polish Ekstraklasa outfit Lech Poznan faces Spartak Trnava of Slovakia in Europa Conference League qualifying on Thursday night.
Lech Poznan have started their domestic campaign in decent form, picking up seven points from three matches following 2-1 and 2-0 wins over Piast and Radomiak before drawing 1-1 away at Zaglebie Lubin last time out. Poznan managed to beat Kauno Zalgiris 3-1 and 2-1 in the last round of Europa Conference League qualifying.
In order to get to this qualifying round, Spartak Trnava managed to earn a 5-1 aggregate win over Auda, having drawn 1-1 in Latvia before winning 4-1 at home via goals from Erik Daniel, Marco Djuricin, Lukas Stetina and Roman Prochazka.
Adana Demirspor goes up against Osijek in what could be an intriguing contest in Europa Conference League qualifying.
The Turkish Super Lig side were beaten 3-2 on the opening weekend of their domestic league season by Istanbul Basaksehir before earning a hard-fought 2-1 away win at Ankaragucu. Since then, they managed a 3-2 aggregate victory over Cluj via a 1-1 away draw and a 2-1 home win where Badou Ndiaye scored a 93rd-minute winner.
Osijek are in superb form so far this season, having won all four matches during the 2023/24 season following 6-1 and 4-3 victories over Slaven Koprivnica and Rudes in the HNL before beating Zalaegerszeg 1-0 and 2-1 to seal a 3-1 aggregate win.
The only Europa League qualifiers on this list sees Slavia Praha take on Dnipro.
Slavia Praha are in good form heading into this match, having won their opening three Czech First Division matches by 2-0, 3-1 and 2-1 scorelines against the likes of Hradec Kralove, Ceske Budejovice and Zlin.
Meanwhile, Dnipro were knocked out of Champions League qualifying by Greek side Panathinaikos 5-2 on aggregate following a 2-2 away draw and 3-1 home defeat. Dnipro have played just one game in this season’s Ukrainian Premier League, of which this match resulted in a 2-1 win over Polissya Zhytomyr.
The final game of this Smart Acca sees Bodo/Glimt host Pyunik at Aspmyra Stadion.
Bodo/Glimt come into this match as firm favourites although they will have to re-find their form, as following a 5-2 win over Sandefjord, they have since suffered 2-0 and 3-2 losses to Tromso and Viking. In terms of Europa Conference League qualifying, Kjetil Knutsen’s side beat Bohemians 7-2 on aggregate in the last round.
Pyunik have already progressed through two qualifying rounds in this season’s competition, with the Armenian outfit seeing off Narva Trans 2-0 and 3-0, before pulling off a shock 4-2 aggregate win over Swedish Allsvenskan side Kalmar.
Barcelona look to end the season with three points, as they travel to Sevilla, who themselves are still hoping to climb the table on the final day. Date: 25/05/24 Kick-off time: 20...
