Botosani Preview – Can Botosani build on promising start?
Not only are Botosani through to this 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League, but the hosts also remain unbeaten in the Romanian Liga 1 after the first three matches of the new domestic top flight season, and having disposed of Ordabasy away from home in the previous round of the Europa League, Botosani will be in confident mood here.
Overall recent results have been encouraging as Botosani are unbeaten in their last five matches in all competitions, winning four of these with Liga 1 victories over Gaz Metan Medias, Arges and Politechnica Iasi as well as the aforementioned 1st qualifying round win over Ordabasy.
Botosani now hold home advantage in this one-legged affair against North Macedonian outfit, Shkendija, having won their last two home matches on the trot and with forwards, Ofusu and Askovski in their ranks, the hosts will be aiming to progress to the next round here.
Shkendija Preview – Can Shkendija match their opponents?
Shkendija bring a similar pattern of results into this upcoming 2nd qualifying round clash in the Europa League as their Romanian counterparts, Botosani, as the visitors are unbeaten in their five North Macedonian First League matches, along with a 1st qualifying round win in this competition too.
The visitors have registered league wins against Struda, Makedonija and Belasica as well as an away win at Azerbaijan outfit, Sumqayit, in the 1st qualifying round of the Europa League, so they too will be confident that they can get the required result here.
Shkendija have also won their last three away matches in all competitions on the trot although results away from home in the Europa League haven’t been quite so convincing; the visitors have won just one of their last six away ties in this competition, which includes three defeats at Riteriai, AC Milan and Rosenborg.
