- FC Inter Turku have gone undefeated in their last 10 matches in all competitions (5 wins and 5 draws)

Side with Sarajevo in this live European scrap
FC Inter Turku and FK Sarajevo face off for a second time in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 after a 1-1 draw in the first leg, leaving the series finely poised ahead of Thursday's encounter at Veritas Stadion in Finland. Vesa Vasara's hosts will be happy to take that result to home turf after going undefeated in 10 matches, a run of form that includes 2 wins and 3 draws in their last 5.
Since taking over as head coach on 1st January 2024, Vasara has given Inter a clear identity with their attacking 4-3-3 system and they will look to play on the flanks of Sarajevo's 3-5-2 on Thursday. Alie Conteh is Inter's main threat, with the 23-year-old having scored 5 of his side's 9 goals in the last 5 matches and already registering against Sarajevo in this competition.
Sarajevo are on a run of 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their last 5, which includes a solid 1-0 home win over FK Zeljeznicar Sarajevo in Premier Liga 2025/2026 over the weekend. Zoran Zekić has been in charge of the club since 13th June 2024 and he has set up a pragmatic 3-5-2 that can remain compact in the middle and turn up the tempo late on.
Close affair anticipated
A draw or an Inter double chance offers the best value on the betting sheet, but the matchup still looks set to come down to a tight finish rather than a resounding victory for either side. Inter are unbeaten at home across all competitions in 2026, winning 2 and drawing 2 from their 4 home matches and have conceded just 3 goals on their own patch at an average of 0.75 per game.
Sarajevo's recent form has been fantastic, recording 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat in their last 10 across all competitions, a sequence that should give them a real chance in the second leg. The away side have been particularly strong on their travels, winning 3 and drawing 1 from their last 4, and they have scored 7 goals across those games, averaging 1.75 goals per game.
Bartol Barisic will be Sarajevo's most likely finisher on Thursday, having scored 1 goal in 1 match in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 so far this season and being the sort of forward who can punish a half chance. The tactical battle will be interesting to watch, with Inter looking to overload the flanks and deliver crosses from advanced full backs while Sarajevo's three central defenders will sit and hold tight before the wing-backs break forward.
