Differdange and Drita are one step away from qualification in the 2025-26 Conference League playoffs

Differdange and Drita are one step away from qualification in the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League playoffs. The second-leg match on Thursday at Stade Municipal de la Ville de Differdange comes with our prediction of over 2.5 goals scored.

The winner of this two-legged tie goes into the league phase of the Conference League, while the loser is out of Europe altogether.

The Luxembourg club started in the first qualifying round of the Champions League, where they incidentally lost to Drita by a 4-2 aggregate, winning both legs. The Kosovan visitors dropped from the Champions League to the Europa League and to this competition now.

Differdange conceded a late penalty and were reduced to ten men in the final stages of the game, losing 2-1 in the first leg. That was a second loss in their last three matches, winning only once. Going back in time, four wins in six recent fixtures (W4, L2) give the home team confidence in turning things around.

Drita wouldn’t mind playing Differdange, as they already defeated them in all three matches they played in this season. That said, the win in the first leg was their only victory across six recent games in all competitions, losing all the remaining five.

That included losing all three recent trips, posing queries if they can continue their winning streak over Differdange.
