Connah’s Quay can make a game of it
The price on Connah's Quay for Wednesday's home match against Ballkani is very wide considering both teams have been playing domestically since last season. The Welsh side are 321/100 for a win against a side which have been performing poorly for Kosovan standards, while the Draw is 123/50 and the visitors are a clear favourite at 71/100.
The Nomads come into this one off the back of a 2-1 away defeat to The New Saints and a 1-1 home draw with Colwyn Bay, so there is not much to split these two sides in recent weeks. John Disney's side have 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss at home across all competitions. In that time, they have only conceded 6 goals, which is a testament to the team's organisation and shape.
Across all competitions, Connah's Quay have won 2, drawn 5 and lost 3 of their last 10 matches, and that run indicates a lot of grit but little quality. Disney took over as Head Coach on 23 May 2025 and he has set up his team to remain solid and hit on the break. They have done this with either a back four and a midfield three, or a back 4 with a double pivot.
Ballkani looking to bounce back
KF Ballkani have been in rotten form of late, with 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 5, and they are currently enduring a 3-match losing streak after home and away defeats to KF Llapi Podujeve, FC Drita Gjilan and FC Prishtina. Mislav Karoglan has been in charge since 25 November 2025 and his side play a much more proactive and high-tempo style of European football, which is likely to see them press high and push the ball forward quickly.
Ballkani line up in a 4-3-3 and with their wide rotation and verticality, they can break lines quickly, but Connah's Quay can punish them if they can get in behind the Kosovan side's back four. Away from home, Ballkani have 2 wins and 3 defeats in all competitions, and despite their higher pressing game, they have still conceded 8 goals in those 5 matches.
Tight match expected
This is a tricky one to call as it is the first competitive matchup between the two teams, and although the stats favour an away win, the markets for both teams and the goals seem too tight. So it would be a surprise if they won this convincingly. We are taking Under 2.5 goals at 16/25 and Both Teams To Score - No at 71/100. This is likely to be a tense affair with the most likely outcome being a narrow away win or a tight Draw.
