FK Sarajevo vs Inter Turku prediction 09.07.2026 | Europa Conference League

FK Sarajevo prepares for this one on the back of a strong conclusion to their domestic league, capped off by an intense 1–0 derby win against Željezničar.

The Maroon-Whites managed three wins in four to close out their campaign, though an earlier 1–0 home defeat against Borac Banja Luka disrupted their rhythm at the Asim Ferhatović Hase Olympic Stadium.

Five wins from their last six home games is still good though. Zoran Zekić’s side will look to start fast and put their new tactical approach into practice right away.

Key player Agon Elezi enters the frame ready to dictate play after leading his team with an impressive 9-goal domestic contribution last season.

However, the hosts must navigate this initial setup with notable defensive adjustments following the mid-season departure of center-back Filip Jović, whose exit left a permanent structural void in the winter.

FC Inter Turku enters this one on the back of an impressive domestic cup victory, outlasting VPS Vaasa 3–2 in a thrilling Finnish Cup semi-final tie.

The Black and Blues are enjoying superb competitive momentum, currently sustaining a stellar 13-match unbeaten streak across all summer competitions.

Vesa Vasara's men have been particularly ruthless on the road, carrying a formidable seven-match away unbeaten run with five wins into this continental trip.

Lethal forward Alie Conteh remains the focal point of the visitors' dangerous attack, having already racked up 8 goals so far during their active campaign.

With no fitness issues registered in the win over VPS in the cup semi-final, boss Vasara is likely to stick with his winning XI.
