KuPS Palloseura
- KuPS are also in great form, winning seven of their last ten across all competitions, drawing two and losing one.
- Miika Nuutinen's team are on a great run, winning four straight matches and looking extremely solid in all areas of the field.
- Their style is proactive, they use their four at the back as a flexible unit, playing either a 4-2-3-1 or a narrow 4-3-3, depending on the matchup.
- Ghanaian international Bob Nii Armah has been their key man this season, he has one of their two goals in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 so far, but he also offers an important link-up play and plays a pivotal role in breaking the defensive lines.
Vardar
- Vardar have been in fantastic form this season, winning seven of their last ten matches across all competitions, losing two and drawing one.
- Cristian Fabbiani's Vardar have been in just as good a run, winning 7, drawing 1 and losing just 2 of their last 10 in all competitions.
- Vardar are a more counter-punching side, they will look to be compact and well-structured, they will not give much away, but look to pick off balls over the top, or from wide areas, when they can win the ball back.
- In Goran Zakaric, they have their talisman for this game, the veteran forward has scored four goals in their last five and looks to be in fine form.
