Ballkani vs Bohemians Prediction 30 July 2026
🔊 Balkani host Bohemians in the second leg of the Conference League second qualifying round at Fadil Vokrri stadium. The first match in Dublin ended with a comeback win for the Irish side - 2-1 - so it's the Kosovo club who need to turn things around. The deficit is only one goal, but Balkani are still the favourites here. They're a different side at home.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the first official meeting between the sides, Balkani took the lead through a Toni Domgjoni penalty, but Bohemians turned it around after the break. Douglas James-Taylor and Ross Tierney - his goal came on 89 minutes - got the goals that sent the Irish side through.
Head-to-head statistics Ballkani - Bohemians

Ballkani Team Overview
Mislavl Karoglan's side will feel hard done by after the first leg. Balkani were the better team in the first half - they scored, had chances to add more, then let the game slip after the break and ended up losing. Now they need a win at home, and a one-goal margin would be enough to take it to extra time.
That means they'll have to push from the off. Balkani have scored in 19 of their last 21 home matches, but the defensive side of things is a concern - they've conceded at least once in 8 of their last 9 games. If Bohemians score first again, the task gets a lot harder.

Bohemians Dublin Team Overview
The Irish club got an important result, snatching a win late in the first leg. After conceding a penalty, Alan Reynolds' side gradually grew into the game - and the substitutions changed everything. Douglas James-Taylor came off the bench to equalise and gave his teammates a psychological lift, after which Bohemians managed to wear down their Kosovan opponents.
The Dubliners are unbeaten in seven straight matches, and this win was their sixth in the last seven. That said, the away leg will be a considerably tougher test. Still, Bohemians have looked solid on the road - unbeaten in 6 of their last 7 away matches. And they've kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 7 games overall, so it'll be interesting to see whether Reynolds' plan is to keep things as tight as possible.
