⭐ Editorial Prediction
Legia are the stronger side and rightfully enter as favorites following their away draw. However, we can't overlook the fact that Banik have been solid on the road. They haven't lost by more than one goal in 10 of their last 11 official away matches. We believe the bronze medalists of the Czech championship have what it takes to challenge the Polish giants in the second leg. Our pick is Banik to win with a +1.5 handicap.No comments
