- Maxline won the last head-to-head match 3-0.
Sutjeska's home form is wobbling
FK Sutjeska Niksic are winless in their last two home games, but Milorad Pekovic's side has lost both of their prior clashes with Kairat Almaty in the competition.
The first was a 2-1 defeat away from home, while the second was a 0-2 reverse at home, with the second defeat appearing to send the Montenegrins on a bit of a downward spiral.
Sutjeska have 4 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats in their last 10 games across all competitions, but it's 4 defeats in a row in their most recent sequence of matches that is the most concerning aspect of their form.
Milorad Pekovic has been in charge since 9 March 2026 and his side still tries to stay compact and strike from a low block.
But they have scored only 5 goals in their last 4 at home in all competitions, which suggests they will be blunt in the final third against Maxline Vitebsk on Thursday.
This FK Sutjeska Niksic vs Maxline Vitebsk preview points to a tight contest if Sutjeska can keep things organised early.
Maxline's overall form is stronger
Filipp Sokolinskiy has been in charge of Maxline Vitebsk since 19 June 2026 and the Belarusians have gone with a more structured 4-2-3-1 system under his stewardship. They press higher and play the ball vertically quicker and they already have the psychological edge having beaten FK Sutjeska 3-0 in their first UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 game.
Maxline arrive at the Stadion Gradski having played their most recent two Conference League games away to Universitatea Craiova and at home to FK Sutjeska.
The Belarusians lost 1-0 in Romania and then got the better of their Montenegrin hosts 3-0 on home soil. Maxline have 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their last 10 in all competitions, which is better than Sutjeska's overall record.
Maxline's away form, which will be crucial here, is also much sturdier than their home record, with the visitors posting 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from their last 5 road games.
Bassekou Diabate is the top scorer in the Conference League so far for the visitors, hitting one goal in one game, and he looks the sharpest edge up front.
Maxline can still be got at on the break, having conceded six times in their last five away games across all competitions, so we could see a cagey match-up here.
