Valletta take on the visitors Kukesi at the Centenary Stadium in the second leg match of UEFA Champions League 1st qualifying round. The match will be played in the eponymous city Valletta, the capital of Malta, on Tuesday, July 17th.
Valletta is one of the strongest football teams in Malta. The players show a lot of confidence in their playing style and have no problems whatsoever in domestic championship. They won the gold medals in Maltese Premier League last season with 58 points after 26 matches. Their offensive line looked impressive finishing the season with 40 goals scored. The defensive line was not bad too and there were only 11 goals conceded in the last season for Valletta.

Kukesi has been showing high quality football for several years and the team often gets the wins. Last season the Albanians got the second place in their national league with 63 points after 36 matches. The offensive line looked very convincing scoring 61 goals for the season. At the same time the defensive line was not as good allowing 41 goals. Last three away matches for Kukesi ended with a 1-2 loss to Vllaznia, a 2-3 loss to Teuta and a 1-0 victory against Skenderbeu.
The first leg match in Albania ended with a 0-0 draw. It`s very unlikely that the teams are going to risk because going through to the next qualifying round would be a great result for both. So I think there will be few goals in this match.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 goals scored.
