Santa Coloma take on the visitors Sutjeska in the second leg of UEFA Conference League qualification quarterfinals. First leg result: 0-2. The match will be played on Thursday, August 3rd at Estadi Comunal (Andorra la Vella).
Santa Coloma have already completed something like a mandatory European cup program. The Blues are currently led by Cheryshev Sr., the father of the former Real Madrid footballer Dmitry Cheryshev, whose career was hindered by chronic injuries. However, the level of players like his son are not present in Andorra, where the team is essentially the champions (they have won 13 titles, but the last one was in 2019) and have to combine sports with some other professional activities. Not surprisingly, their results in European competitions are modest, with the maximum achievement being the advancement past the first opponent. In 2023, they managed to do that: they defeated Penybont from Wales in July.

Sutjeska failed to secure their second consecutive championship title. The Blue-Whites won the gold in 2022. But once again, they couldn't stay at the top of Montenegrin football, as Buducnost proved stronger. However, their second-place finish came along with the cup victory. That was enough to send them back to the European stage. There, the representatives from Niksic managed to advance past a maximum of one opponent. This summer, they were already able to put a tick in that box as they overcame Cosmos! That's the name of the team from San Marino, with whom they achieved a minimal advantage: 1-0 at home and 1-1 away (where the underdog scored first and was winning until the 73rd minute). In this round, they managed to score a goal in each half against the away team. So, the task in Andorra is to simply avoid a major setback.
Last week, the teams played against each other for the first time. According to the odds, the chances of victory are almost equal. However, as everything is already decided, a bet on total under 2.5 goals seems appropriate.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
