Tre Penne take on the visitors Valmiera Larne in the first leg of UEFA Conference League qualification quarterfinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 25th at San Marino Stadium (Serravalle).
The San Marino champion is as usual unable to perform on the European club stage. They started their journey in the Champions League qualification, and in the preliminary round, they were demolished by Icelandic Breidablik 1-7. The situation repeats itself year after year, and Tre Penne seems completely incapable of competing with their international opponents. Now, they face the Latvian champion, and despite the modest level of Latvian teams, bookmakers have no doubt about the success of the Baltic team. Even in the away battle, they offer low odds of only (1.2) for them. Tre Penne can be content with the fact that they managed to score at least one goal in this European campaign, but it seems they can't hope for more.

Valmiera also started their journey in the Champions League qualification and fought as best as they could, but they lost both matches against Slovenian side Olimpija with the same score of 1-2. Now, the Latvian champion has a good chance to please their fans with victories, as they couldn't have asked for an easier opponent than Tre Penne at this stage of the qualifiers. Considering their competitive performance against Slovenian opponents in the Champions League qualification, it can be concluded that Valmiera are a relatively strong team, and they should not encounter any significant problems against the San Marino opponent. As mentioned earlier, bookmakers have full confidence in the victory of the away team, and it is reasonable to assume that Valmiera are capable of securing a comfortable lead of a couple of goals ahead of the second leg.
There is absolutely no belief in Tre Penne, and their Champions League match against the Icelandic team confirmed that nothing has changed, and they struggle on the European stage consistently. Therefore, I am placing my bet on the victory of the Latvian team with a handicap of -1.5. A scoreline like 2-0 or 3-0 in favor of Valmiera are quite possible. My bet: Handicap (-1.5) in favor of the Latvian team.
Prediction for the match: Valmiera to win with -1.5 handicap.
