Bate Borisov and Breidablik with their eyes on the Balkans and Struga, Partizan in "anxiety"

2023-08-11 18:31:57, Sport CNA

Partizan, Balkani and Struga managed to get victories in their matches in the first matches of the third round of the Conference League and are already considered favorites to go further. The champions of Albania won 1-2 with an upset in Latvia against Valmiera, Struga beat Swift Hesperange 2-1 in Macedonia, while Balkan beat Lincoln Red Imps 2-0 in Pristina.

The results of the first matches make the Albanian teams think calmly about the return matches and with a little care they can touch the play-off stage. The draw in Nion, Switzerland, has also determined the possible opponents, and after the first matches there is a clearer picture of the potential rivals.

Partizan, if it goes further, will face the team that is eliminated from the European League between Astana and Ludogorets. The first match played in Kazakhstan was won 2-1 by Astana and everything will be decided next week in Razbrag, Bulgaria, so it is difficult to predict who could be the possible opponent for the Reds.

On the other hand, the Balkans, if they properly manage the two-goal advantage in Gibraltar, will most likely play Bate Borisov in the play-offs. The champions of Belarus, who eliminated Partizan in the first round of the Champions League, were defeated 5-1 in Moldova by Sheriff Tiraspol, and it seems very difficult for them to pull off a miracle in the second leg.

Struga, which plays in Luxembourg next week, in case it celebrates the qualification, in the play-off is expected to face the champions of Iceland, Breidablik. The Icelanders were defeated with a deep score of 6-2 in the first match of the third round in Bosnia by Zrinjski and it would take a miracle to reach the qualification, so the chances are that they will continue the adventure in the Conference League.
