Progrès Nidderkuer and Zeta meet at Stade Parc des Sports, in a match for this phase of the UEFA Europa League (1st Qualifying Round). These two teams have never met before, so this will be their first head-to-head match. In this game, the home factor may be decisive, since Zeta presents considerable differences in their results at home and as a visitor.
Progrès :
The home team will make its debut in this edition of the UEFA Europa League with the intention of achieving a positive result, taking advantage of the home factor. This is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, it presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 games it has registered 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses as a visitor, with 33 goals scored and 22 suffered; against 8 victories, 4 draws and 3 defeats in his stadium, with 28 goals scored and 14 suffered. In their last match, for the Friendlies, they beat Mainz 05 II away by (0‑3). In their last 10 home games Progrès Nidderkuer has recorded 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses. The team allowed the opponent goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, so their defense needs to improve, but their offense has scored regularly, since they have always scored at least one goal in the last 10 matches. In the last 4 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (0’‑ 15 ‘).
Progrès Niedercorn comes to this match after a 3-0 win against Mainz 05 B, in a friendly preparation for the next official matches. It should be noted that the locals achieved access to this qualifying round for the Europa League due to second place in the 2019/2020 Luxembourg Championship. The two arrows pointed at the opponent’s goal will be Yannick Bastos and Emmanuel Francoise and the player responsible for defining and leading the attacks of his team is midfielder Kevin Holtz. Coach Roland Vrabec will not be able to count on Vogel and Matias, due to physical problems.
