Breidablik will aim to overturn their first-leg defeat against Egnatia when they host the Albanian champions in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League first qualifying round on Tuesday. Can the Icelandic champions edge out Egnatia to qualify for the next round of the competition? Let’s take you through our prediction for the match.
Breidablik still stand a chance to make it to the next round heading into this match. They nearly came away with a draw in the first leg last week in Albania before Ildi Gruda’s added-time goal condemned them to defeat.
Halldor Arnason’s men will count on home support to turn things around on Tuesday, but it will not be an easy rematch against their Albanian opponents. They have won or lost four of their last five home matches, three of which ended with under 3.5 goals.
Egnatia recorded their second straight win in a competitive fixture following the narrow 1-0 victory against Breidablik in the first leg. They will aim to build on this slim advantage on Tuesday for a place in the next round.
Notably, Edlir Tetova’s men have been through a run of low-scoring games away from home. They have won or lost their last five fixtures on the road, four of which ended with under 3.5 goals. Hence, our prediction.
