LiontipsTromso vs Kilmarnock. Conference League match prediction and betting tips
Command Analysis
Current form
At the beginning of this year, 34-year-old Jorgen Vik took over as Tromsø's manager, and it seems he is beginning to find his way around his players. It cannot be said that the team is playing consistently, but there are significantly more positive results. They finally managed to get out of the relegation zone in the national championship, and there is nothing to complain about in the European Cups.
In the last round of the Conference League qualification, they managed to win twice with the same score over KuPS (1:0). The upcoming opponent almost managed to win in the last round, because leading 2:1, the Norwegians conceded in the 93rd minute and now they only need to win on their home field.

Current form
You can't envy Kilmarnock's start to the season. First, the team failed to get past Cercle Brugge in the Europa League, losing 1:2 on aggregate over two matches. Then there was a defeat in the first round of the national championship against Celtic (0:4), followed by a hard-won draw at home with their upcoming opponent (2:2), and last weekend they lost to St. Johnstone (0:3) at home in the second round of the Scottish Championship.
Derek McClains couldn't have imagined a worse start to the season. In five official matches, his team scored three times, but conceded more than three times as many (10). With such statistics, the chances of reaching the next round are minimal.

1.60Tip and bets
Kilmarnock's current form is terrible and Tromso will certainly do their best to take advantage of this. Luck helped the visitors avoid defeat in the last face-to-face encounter. It is unlikely that they will be as lucky away. Several previous away matches have shown that the Scots are not ready to fight against an opponent who is not inferior in class.
Our prediction is a victory for Tromso with odds of 1.62
Bet on total
Tromso will obviously go forward and Kilmarnock will not be able to keep a clean sheet. The Scots will need to catch their opponents on the counterattack, because it is suicide to play open football with the Norwegians when you do not show even 50% of your capabilities. Kilmarnock scored twice at home. It is quite possible that they will manage to score once away and there will be no zeros on the scoreboard again.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.86
Bet on corners
Tromso took just one corner in the first leg, while Kilmarnock took four. The Norwegians are now likely to win the upcoming corner clash.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) corners at Tromso with odds of 1.52
