The first of two encounters in the Europa Conference League 2nd Qualifying Round, as the hometeam Tre Penne will try to edge Valmiera in their own ballpark.
It's quite the trip for Valmiera when visiting Tre Penne as the cities are 2300 kilometers apart.
Valmiera could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Virsliga game only three sleeps ago.
Tre Penne form and stats
Penne participated in Europa Conference League the last season, where they reached the 1st qualifying round and lost against Sloga.Tre Penne are steadily winning Campionato games and points here at Stadio Olimpico di Serravalle. 9 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 14 games.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with their goalkeeper not having conceded a league goal in 270 minutes.
Tre Penne's previous game was also a home event, the defeat 1-7 versus Breidablik (in Champions League).
Before that match, a defeat in the away fixture against Virtus in the Coppa Titano. The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Valmiera to win. Let's see if Tre Penne are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: 4 games found revealing 0 Penne wins, 0 draws and 4 defeats.
The Tre Penne manager Ceci has got the team scoring with 29 from 14 home games in the league. Penne are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stadio Olimpico di Serravalle in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 11 from 14 matches.
Valmiera form and stats
Valmiera's mission in Europa Conference League last season failed in the 2nd qualifying round against Skendija 79.3 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses. That’s the product of Valmiera playing as the away team in the Virsliga this season.
Valmiera have much to to correct after their surprise loss (0-1) to FC Daugavpils / Progress in their previous match, played at their own home ground.
The match before that was the Champions League-battle against Olimpija, a home defeat (1-2). Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset.
