Sarajevo take on the visitors Torpedo Kutaisi in the second leg of UEFA Conference League qualification round of 1/8-finals. First leg result: 2-2. The match will be played on Thursday, July 20th at Stadion Asim Ferhatović Hase (Sarajevo).
Sarajevo are quite active on the international stage. The Maroon and Whites were highly regarded during the unified Yugoslavia. They managed to win the championship twice, in 1967 and 1985. Of course, after gaining independence, the number of trophies increased significantly. They achieved 5 championships and 7 cup victories. However, complete domination was not achieved, and in the last edition, they finished in 4th place. Nevertheless, it was enough to qualify for European competitions again. On the international stage, they haven't achieved notable results, except for reaching the decisive round of the 2020 qualification, where they were defeated by Celtic. However, the following year, they were eliminated right away by Milsami (0-0, 0-1). But in Georgia, they started a new round with a 2-2 result.

Torpedo Kutaisi are currently struggling domestically. The Black and Whites were founded back in 1946 and have had a challenging but intriguing history. They faced relegation, even in the post-independence period, to the 2nd Georgian league, but they managed to become champions four times, including in 2017, and won the David Kipiani Cup five times, including in 2022. The team has often played on the international stage but, like their compatriots, with little success. Only in 2018, they defeated Sheriff in the Champions League (though they were eventually eliminated) and eliminated Vikingur Gotu and Kukesi in the Europa League, after which they succumbed to Ludogorets. Currently, after leading twice on July 13, they only managed to draw at home against the Bosnian team.
The clubs did not play against each other before last week. The Bosnians will be the favorites in this match. However, the guests will definitely attempt to achieve success. We'll place our bet on total over 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
