It's game one of two in the Europa Conference League as Balzan host Neman Grodno. This is a 2nd Qualifying Round fixture played over two legs and nothing will be decided tonight.
This ground uses artifical turf, unlike Neman Grodno's home arena. The latest eleven games by the guests on artifical turf have produced 4 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses.
It's quite the trip for Neman Grodno when visiting Balzan as the cities are 3100 kilometers apart.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
