Preview

Atlètic Club d'Escaldes (home)

• Atlètic are in fairly mixed form, having won 2, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 5 matches.
• At home in all competitions, Atlètic have won three, drawn one and lost two of their six games this season, so their home field advantage is not a fortress.

FK Mornar Bar (away)

• Mornar are in better shape than Atlètic, unbeaten in their last 5 (W2, D3) coming into this game.
• Mornar have been excellent away from home in 2025/26, unbeaten in 5 away trips (W4, D1).
• Mornar's last two games have been efficient away wins to nil - a 2-0 success at FK Jezero Plav in First League 2025 and a 1-0 victory at FK Decic Tuzi in the Montenegro Cup 2025/2026.

Head-to-Head

• Marti Riverola's men are very compact and try to remain disciplined and compact in order to pounce on turnover situations in the open spaces that will be around them when they sit deep.
• They will be very dangerous on the counter and will try to create chaos and create their best chances through overloads out wide and direct runs at goal.
• Mornar are a more direct and physical side who will be keen to dominate territory, control second balls and get a load of crosses into the box from the wide areas.
• Simo Medigovic's men will also try to frustrate Atlètic by controlling the pace of the game in a similar way to the way they did against Decic Tuzi in the previous round.

Betting Insights

• Atlètic Club d'Escaldes are the slight favourites to take a first-leg lead at Estadi Nacional d'Andorra.
• The odds of 1.85 for the Andorran champions look generous given that Mornar are unbeaten in their last five.

Prediction

• Mornar's superior recent form and excellent away form make them my preferred side to edge this.
• The draw looks good, too, but in a cagey match between two tactically-disciplined teams, the visitors have the edge to win 1-0.
• Atlètic average 1.50 goals per home game this season and concede 1.00 while Mornar average 1.20 goals in away games and have conceded only 0.20 per away game in all competitions.
