Legia vs Aktobe prediction, H2H and probable lineups — July 10, 2025
On Thursday, July 10, in the first qualifying round of the Europa League, Legia will host Aktobe. Kick-off is at 20:00 Central European Time. I'm offering a bet on the number of goals scored by one of the teams.
Interesting facts and head-to-head history
- Legia has twice reached the Europa League Round of 32 in its history.
- Aktobe has never advanced to the main stage of the Europa League.
- Aktobe has won only 2 of their last 6 matches.
- This will be the third meeting between these teams. In the 2013/14 season, Legia defeated Aktobe twice (2-0 and 1-0) in the final round of Europa League qualifying.
Match preview
Legia is one of the most successful clubs in Polish football history. The team has been crowned national champions 15 times and even has experience competing in the Champions League group stage. Last season, the Warsaw side finished only fifth in the Ekstraklasa, but managed to win the Polish Cup, which secured their place in the Europa League. Legia also made a strong run in the Conference League, reaching the quarterfinals before falling, as expected, to Chelsea.
This summer, Legia's management decided to change head coaches. Ex-Romania national team boss Edward Iordănescu replaced Gonzalo Feio. The club has set ambitious targets, but so far has made just one summer signing — right-back Filip Stojanović arriving from Empoli.
Aktobe are five-time champions of Kazakhstan, though their last Premier League title came back in 2013. Nevertheless, Aktobe remains a powerhouse in Kazakh football and are regular participants in European competitions. However, the club has yet to achieve any significant success outside its home country.
Last season, Aktobe finished third in the Kazakhstan Premier League but won the national cup, which earned them a place in the Europa League instead of the Conference League. The new season in Kazakhstan is in full swing, and after 15 rounds Aktobe are again in third place, trailing leaders Astana by 5 points.
Probable lineups
- Legia: Tobiasz - Ruben Vinagre, Kapuadi, Jędrzejczyk, Wszołek - Gonçalves, Oyedele, Elitim - Luquinhas, Morishita, Shkurin
- Aktobe: Vlad - Kiki, Vătăjelu, Kairov, Anđelković, Baydavletov, Usenov, Zhan, Korzun, Doumbouya, Omirtaev
