Teuta hosts Granada CF in the quarterfinals of the Europa League qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, September 17th at Stadiumi Niko Dovana (Durrës)
The holder of the Albanian Cup and Super Cup has been out of game tone since the end of August, when it beat Tirana and Israeli Beitar in the first stage of the Europa League qualification. It is worth noting that the overall level of Teuta is not bad, but it is more suitable for the Albanian championship, where the team takes only fifth place. However, the hosts look quite modest against the background of Granada.

Martinez's team made a successful start in the new season of LaLiga, having beaten Athletic from Bilbao at home (2-0). Granada showed a perfect game in counterattacks, smartly using a minimum of attempts and keeping the score in the end. Being in good game and physical conditions, the Nasrids should play attacking football with the help of a 4-2-3-1 formation, where the famous Spanish striker Roberto Soldado will be at the helm. It seems that the Spaniards will not have problems with Teuta even on the road.
The teams have never met on the football field. There are several reasons to bet on a favorite’s victory with a minus handicap. Firstly, the difference in the class is not even discussed - the squad of Granada is quite experienced, while Teuta has mostly the Albanian "no-names". Secondly, the game tone is also on the side of Martinez's team, which successfully started in LaLiga, and the Albanians have not played since August. Thirdly, Granada will make its debut in European cups, and the team is probably motivated to win confidently in the first European match, especially since the selection of players and their experience allow the team to do this against the background of the opponent's level.
Prediction for the match: Granada CF to win with -1.5 handicap
