Tip: The New Saints to win
Although Differdange won the first leg 1-0, their possession statistic (only 27%) and current form suggest that The New Saints can succeed in the second leg. The Welsh team has won 8 of their last 9 away matches and was significantly more active in the first leg. Differdange may have an experienced striker in Pereira, but the overall quality and movement of the opponent caused them problems. TNS have greater experience in European competitions and the motivation to repeat their group stage appearance, which should show in the return leg.
Tip: Iberia 1999 to win
Iberia traditionally plays very offensively at home and, after a 0-1 defeat in the first leg, they need to push from the start. They had several chances in the first match but failed to convert them. Levadia may have the lead, but they will rely primarily on their defense, which opens the door for home pressure. Summer signing Matic Vrbanec should bring more creativity to the midfield. Iberia also plays in Tbilisi, where they enjoy excellent fan support, and the team has no new absences, increasing their chances of success.
Tip: over 2.5 goals
Olimpija won the first leg 4-2, and the second leg promises another offensive spectacle. Inter Escaldes will need to attack, opening space for quick Slovenian counterattacks. The team from Andorra may have a weaker defense, but they regularly score at home and managed to strike twice in the first leg. Olimpija is also in great form, especially Diogo Pinto, who scored a hat-trick in the first match. Given the attacking setup of both teams, another high-scoring match is expected.
