Sileks Preview – Can Sileks upset form book?
It was a season of mixed fortunes last term for Thursday’s hosts, Sileks, as they won the North Macedonian Cup final, beating Akademia Pandev on penalties but were then relegated from the domestic top flight following a 1-0 defeat to Tikves in the relegation/promotion play-off.
Sileks therefore start their next campaign in the second tier of North Macedonian football but they’ll be hoping they can improve upon recent results which have seen Sileks lose four of their last five matches in all competitions.
Sileks hold a limited pedigree at Europa League level and they’ve struggled having lost four of their five ties in this competition to date.
Petrocub Preview – Can Petrocub gain 1st leg lead?
Moldovan outfit, Petrocub, enjoyed a more successful campaign in their respective Divizia Nationala than their North Macedonian counterparts as they finished runners-up in the top flight and qualified for this new Europa Conference League.
Although Petrocub succumbed to the title-winners, Sheriff, in the Cup and league, these were Petrocub’s only blemishes in an otherwise consistent sequence of results which saw them lose just two of their last 31 matches in all competitions.
Petrocub have also made a winning start to their new Moldova top flight season by recording an opening day 1-0 win away at Floresti.
