Connah’s Quay Nomads vs Ballkani prediction

Connah’s Quay Nomads, under the management of John Disney, finished second in the Cymru Premier last season, behind the dominant force of Welsh football, The New Saints. The Nomads were knocked out have won just one European tie, against Kilmarnock.

They now face a Ballkani side that finished second in the Kosovan Superleague last season. The Gabriels, as they are nicknamed, did reach the league phase of the UEFA Europa Conference League last season.

Ballkani have to be viewed as the favourites for this one against what is a poor Connah’s Quay Nomads side in a European context and backing an away win is the way to go here.
