A tight and tense encounter awaits at Stadion Pod Goricom
This FK Mornar Bar vs Atletic Club d'Escaldes preview finds Atletic Club d'Escaldes hoping to hold onto their lead when they take on FK Mornar Bar in the second leg of this UEFA Conference League qualification contest in Montenegro.
The Andorran champions have a slender 2-1 advantage following a well-earned win in the first leg, and they'll look to maintain their aggregate advantage when they face off against Mornar at the Stadion Pod Goricom this Thursday.
Mornar have been a solid, but unspectacular proposition in all competitions this term, winning two, drawing two and losing one of their last five matches, and they come into this game after a 0-2 victory at FK Jezero Plav.
Darko Zoric leads the line for Mornar with one goal in one match in this UEFA Conference League qualification campaign, and Vesco Stesevic has his men set up to be compact, and ready to pounce with their double pivot and 4-2-3-1 base.
Escaldes have been more up and down in all competitions, winning four, drawing two and losing four of their last ten, but Marti Riverola's men are in better shape coming into this fixture, after taking three wins from their last five.
They've backed up their first-leg triumph with a 2-0 victory at home to Penya Encarnada d'Andorra after suffering a 3-1 away defeat to Inter Club d'Escaldes, and Borja Morales has been their key playmaker with two goals in one match in this tournament.
All in all, this should be a classic control-vs-counter affair, with Mornar trying to break Escaldes down and the visitors ready to counter attack.
Our FK Mornar Bar vs Atletic Club d'Escaldes prediction is that this will be a very tight game in the odds, but with Escaldes in as slight favourites on the back of their first-leg win, and Mornar unbeaten at home, we think this will be a tense one-goal game, and are going for under 2.5 goals and both teams to score 'No' at 1.6 and 1.86 respectively.
