The 2024/25 football season is already underway for many clubs. Last week, Europa League qualifications started too, and in one of the most shocking outcomes in the first leg, the Romanian Hunedoara won 4-0 on the road against Hungarian Paks. Given this substantial lead, it seems unlikely that Paks can overturn the deficit in the upcoming tie.
Interestingly, Hunedoara are part of the second level of Romanian football. Last season, they came out as a shocking winner of the national cup, so Hunedoara got a chance to fight for a place in the Europa League. Despite a lackluster preseason, as Florin Maxim's team lost both preseason matches and the Super Cup tie versus FCSB, Hunedoara still managed to pick up a big win in Hungary last week.
Paks, having finished second in Hungary's top league last season and winning their first cup, entered the qualifiers with high expectations. They had a strong preseason, recording three wins, one draw, and one loss. However, their disappointing performance against Hunedoara now leaves them needing a miraculous turnaround to progress further.
Corvinul Hunedoara vs Paksi SE pick: Over 2.5 goals
We still should consider Paks to be a better side, so we should anticipate them pushing and playing attacking football from the first whistle on Thursday in Sibiu. It is reasonable to expect at least three goals in that game.

Corvinul Hunedoara team news
Hunedoara spent most of the last thirty years in the third level of the Romanian football. However, they returned to Liga 2 in 2023/24, won the national cup, and now have ambitions to fight for the promotion to the Liga 1. Hunedoara made a lot of changes this summer, and they are probably much better than the previous season. The most important signings are Florin Iacob (who came from UTA Arad) and Desley Ubbink (FC Emmen). Hunedoara also brought on loan a reliable attacking midfielder, Roger, from U. Cluj.
