Shkendija 79
- Shkendija 79 tore Europa FC apart 5-0 in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 first-leg and they will surely see off the Gibraltar side without much trouble in North Macedonia this week.
- Shkendija have 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from their last 5 games in all competitions but they enter this game fresh from a 3-1 home win over FC Struga Trim & Lum, which followed on from that 5-0 Conference League rout of Europa FC.
-
In all competitions, Shkendija have won 6, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their last 10, so they are in decent form but not invincible.
- Last 5: 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats
- Last 10: 6 wins, 1 draw, 3 defeats
Europa FC
- Europa FC are a well-organised unit under Michelle Di Piedi, who has been in charge since January 2024.
- The visitors responded to the first-leg battering by thrashing FC Hound Dogs 6-0 at home but the 0-5 result in Tetovo was a blow to their European campaign.
- In all competitions, Europa FC have won 6, drawn 1 and lost 3 of their last 10, which on paper is very strong form, but it doesn't reflect the dominance Shkendija showed in the last game.
- Away, Europa FC have won 3 and lost 1 of their 4 games in all competitions, conceding just 3 goals on the road during that time.
Head-to-Head
Shkendija 79 won the first-leg 5-0 and are now in complete control of the game.
Key Players
Shkendija's Fabrice Tamba is the main danger man here with 2 goals in 1 match in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026, and he seems to be in fine form at the moment and getting plenty of service in the final third.
Betting Insights
Shkendija are 1.3 favorites, the draw is 5.8 and Europa FC are 9.3 outsiders.
Prediction
- A Shkendija win to nil would fit the script for Thursday's game nicely as Europa will have to come at their hosts, while the Macedonian side showed complete control in the opening 15 minutes of the last leg.
- The hosts are the right bet at around 1.3 as the most likely outcome and we think they will finish the work comfortably.
