Birkirkara and Maribor will face off in the 2nd leg of the 1st Qualifying Round of the UEFA Conference League.
Birkirkara is expected to have several opportunities and shots on target in this match.
On the other hand, Maribor may struggle to find the back of the net themselves, although we do anticipate them scoring at least once in this game.
Birkirkara enter this match after a 1-1 draw against Maribor in the Conference League Qualifiers.
In five of their last six matches, Birkirkara has witnessed fewer than three goals per game. During this period, they scored five goals while conceding the same number.
The Birkirkara manager will be pleased to have a fully fit squad at his disposal ahead of this clash, with no reported fitness concerns.
Last 5 Games: Won: 2, Draw: 1, Lost: 2, Scored: 7, Conceded: 10, Clean Sheets: 1.
Maribor have shown their attacking prowess in their recent fixtures, finding the back of the net 8 times in their last 6 matches.
However, their defensive record has room for improvement, having conceded in 5 of those games. It remains to be seen if this trend will continue in the upcoming match.
On the injury front, Maribor manager Damir Krznar has concerns over the fitness of Gregor Sikosek and Ignacio Guerrico, who are unavailable for selection.
Last 5 Games: Won: 2, Draw: 3, Lost: 0, Scored: 11, Conceded: 5, Clean Sheets: 1.
