Struga host the first leg in this deciding Europa Conference League 2nd Qualifying Round game. Budućnost will try their very best to bring a solid result back to Stadion Pod Goricom before the return leg in 10 days.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the First League. That game was also an away game, at Mladost DG. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

Budućnost form and stats

They also participated in Europa Conference League last season. This ended in the 2nd qualifying round, when Breidablik drew the shortest straw.

The visitors are W0-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the First League.

There might be some fixture complaints from Budućnost as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous game, 1-2 against Mladost DG.

The game before that was the Champions League-battle against Breidablik, a home defeat (0-5). As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found 4 similar matches played by Budućnost in our archives, and the results are: 1 win for Budućnost, 3 draws and 0 defeats.
