Connah’s Quay and FC Ballkani have both been leaky in defense, conceding often in recent games. As a result, this Conference League matchup is expected to be high-scoring. Betting markets indicate good value in backing both teams to score (BTTS) and over 2.5 total goals, with additional potential in over 3.5 goals. The main takeaway: expect offensive action and consider goal-heavy wagers.

H2H 


This will be the first-ever encounter between Connah’s Quay and FC Ballkani. 

Connah’s Quay Are BTTS Specialists at Home


Connah’s Quay are a high-scoring side and have found the net at least once in 20 consecutive home games. John Disney’s team have also seen BTTS in 18 of those fixtures. 

The Welsh outfit ended last season with a three-match winless streak. They drew 1-1 with Barry and Colwyn Bay and lost 2-1 against The New Saints.

The Nomads then started pre-season with a 1-0 away loss at Larne and conceded in the 87th minute.

Disney’s outfit hit back with a 1-0 friendly win against Queen of the South and Abdi Sharif scored a first-half winner. 

 FC Ballkani Struggling to Keep Goals Out


FC Ballkani are out of form and have lost six of their previous eight matches. The Kosovan outfit have kept one clean sheet and conceded 14 in that period. 

The Gabriels began pre-season with a 1-0 away win against Hebar. A 2-0 defeat at Botev Plovdiv followed.

Mislav Karoglan's side fell to a heavy 4-0 loss against Sileks on Thursday. FC Ballkani were 3-0 down at half time and conceded a late fourth. 

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News


Connah’s Quay (4-3-2-1): Chris Renshaw; Joseph Simatupang-Ferguson, Alex Hughes, James Jones, Shane Flynn; Frankie Deane, Abdi Sharif; Callum West, Michael Stone, Darren Stephenson; Harry Franklin

Harry Franklin scored 13 goals and made 11 assists last season. The striker is likely to lead the line on Wednesday. 

FC Ballkani (4-2-3-1): Adnan Golubovic; Abou Dosso, Gentrit Halili, Ivica Batarelo, Diar Vokrri; Edvin Kuc, Giovanni, Albert Diene; Bleart Tolaj, Valentin Serebe, Walid Hamidi

Edvin Kuc returned to FC Ballkani in pre-season and is expected to start in midfield. The midfielder made 198 appearances in his first spell at the club. 

Verdict

Connah’s Quay and FC Ballkani have been unconvincing in defence recently. Both sides concede plenty and BTTS and over 2.5 goals have good value in the Conference League.
