Santa Coloma take on the visitors Penybont in the second leg of UEFA Conference League qualification round of 1/8-finals. First leg result: 1-1. The match will be played on Thursday, July 20th at Estadi Comunal (Andorra la Vella).
Santa Coloma have slightly regained its position on the domestic field. The Blues are one of the most well-known clubs in their country, with 13 championship titles and 8 second-place finishes, which is quite impressive considering their 37-year history. However, their most recent title came back in 2019, and in the following three seasons, there was a significant decline, with a 5th place finish even in Andorra, a small country with only 8 clubs in its league! Nevertheless, under the guidance of Dmitry Cheryshev, they managed to secure at least the bronze medal, which was enough to return to the European arena. However, it is worth noting that they have only managed to progress past at least one opponent in European competitions on three occasions. Currently, they have a chance to repeat this feat, as they ended their match in Wales with a 1-1 draw.

Penybont made their European debut last week. The Blue and Whites were created in 2013 as a result of the merger of two local teams. It took time, but in 2019, the club made its debut in the Welsh Premier League. In the previous season, they managed to secure the highest position, finishing in 3rd place. This allowed them to qualify for international competitions under UEFA's auspices for the first time in their history. On June 13th, they hosted the guests from Andorra in Wales. The visitors opened the scoring, possibly relying on their experience, and scored a goal in the 36th minute. However, Penybont's historical first goal was scored by Venables in the middle of the second half, resulting in a 1-1 draw.
As a young project from Wales that has only played one match in European competitions before, they have never crossed paths with a team from Andorra. Santa Coloma plays at home and is considered the favorite in this encounter. However, much will likely depend on the first goal. We suggest betting on total under 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
