Sant Julia take on the visitors Gzira at “Estadi Comunal” in the 1/16 qualification stage of the UEFA Europa League. The game will be played in the city of Andorra la Vella on Tuesday, June 26th.
Sant Julia conducted quite a good season as few expected the team to qualify successfully for the Eurocups. The side managed to settle on the third position in the Andorra’s Primera Divisio table, having picked up 42 points in 21 encounters played. The club’s offense demonstrated high class, having scored 58 goals, however, its defense also looked tough with only 15 goals conceded. In the recent clashes hosted at the home field Sant Julia have beaten FC Santa Coloma 2:1 as well as lost to Lusitanos 2:3 and UE Engordany 1:2.

In their turn, Gzira are the constant participant of the Eurocups, having, however, never promoted to the main round of the competition. The team occupied the third place in the Malta’s Premier League standings with 51 points earned after 26 matchdays conducted. The club showed great effectiveness in attack, having scored 52 goals unlike its defense which left much to be desired with 33 goals conceded. In the latest away battles Gzira have failed against Valletta 1:2, broke Naxxar Lions 2:0 and thrashed Mosta 5:3.
Sant Julia and Gzira have never met before. The upcoming fight will be one of the most important games for the footballers of both sides, still, I would give an advantage to the hosts due to the home-field factor.
Prediction for the match: Sant Julia to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
