Correct score prediction: Breidablik 1-2 Egnatia
Egnatia have enjoyed some degree of success in recent times, claiming the Kategoria Superiore in consecutive seasons, and they are not resting on their laurels, as they look to advance to the second qualifying round of this competition for the first time in their history. Before the first meeting a week ago, the Albanians were the underdogs, but with their fine showing in the first leg and subsequent win, they will be more than confident of earning a popular win. Edlir Tatova’s charges won their last four games across all competitions, and that offers hope that they could deliver another masterstroke.
