Inter Escaldes will attempt to not only chase down a two-goal deficit on Tuesday night when they entertain Olimpija Ljubljana at the Estadi de la FAF, but also seek a third winning goal providing the Slovenian visitors don’t score again in this return leg.
The Andorran hosts were handed a 4-2 loss away from home in the 1st leg of this 2nd qualifying round tie in the UEFA Conference League last week and the hosts know they now have only 90 minutes on their hands in order to resurrect their European ambitions this season.
Inter Escaldes had previously made an early exit from the 1st qualifying round of the Champions League as the Andorran outfit suffered a narrow 4-3 loss at the hands of Steaua Bucharest, while the bigger picture shows Felip Ortiz’s side have lost just two of their last 25 games in all competitions.
Olimpija Ljubljana will have been riding the crest of a wave after recording a 4-2 home win against Inter Escaldes in last week’s home tie and the visitors know they just need to avoid defeat here by more than one goal in order to progress through to the next qualifying round of this competition.
The Slovenian visitors bring a three-game winning streak into this 2nd leg tie having collected early season back-to-back wins in the domestic top flight against the likes of Mura and Aluminij in the Prva Liga, along with last week’s Conference League win against Inter Escaldes.
Olimpija Ljubljana also lost out in the 1st qualifying round of the Champions League, suffering a 3-1 defeat on aggregate to Kazakhstan outfit Kairat Almaty, so they too know they are in the ‘last chance saloon’ in terms of European opportunities this season.
The Betting Verdict
Olimpija Ljubljana lost just twice away from home throughout the whole of last season’s Prva Liga campaign and the visitors hold a slight edge in this return leg as well.
