Vaduz take on the visitors Neman in the first leg of UEFA Conference League qualification round of 1/8-finals. The match will be played on Thursday, June 13th at Rheinpark Stadion (Vaduz).
Vaduz, although considered a team from Liechtenstein, is essentially a Swiss team, and that says it all. In the previous season, Vaduz even managed to reach the group stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League, where they faced strong opponents such as AZ Alkmaar, Dnipro, and Apollon Limassol. In this match, as well as in the overall confrontation, Vaduz is clearly the favorite. The team is more experienced and of a higher level compared to Neman. Therefore, Vaduz is certainly capable of gaining an advantage before the away match.

The Belarusian championship is one of the most deteriorating in Europe, and naturally, one cannot expect anything reasonably competitive from the participants of this league in European club competitions. Neman is currently even competing for the championship title in their country, but it is not because they have improved in quality, rather due to the fact that the league has become entangled in various scandals involving match-fixing, resulting in several teams being stripped of points. Against this backdrop, Neman has secured a place in the top three. As for Neman's prospects in this confrontation, in my opinion, if Grodno can avoid losing by a margin of three goals, it would already be considered a success for them. They do not have significant aspirations in this match, and it is simply about preserving the intrigue for the second leg of this confrontation.
The odds for the home team are very favorable in this case, and there is no need to complicate matters. One can simply settle for the betting option of a Vaduz victory. Neman is quite inexperienced, and it will be difficult for them to face a seasoned European competitor. So, my choice for the betting option is a victory for the home team.
Prediction for the match: Vaduz to win.
