Egnatia vs Petrocub Hincesti prediction

Egnatia and Petrocub Hincesti shared a 1-1 draw at Stadionul Municipal in Moldova in the first-leg of their UEFA Champions League first qualifying round tie. Petrocub went ahead inside a minute via Petru Popescu before Altin Kryeziu equalised mid-way through the first half. Albano Aleksi was then sent off for Egnatia just before the break.

Egnatia were beaten in the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League in each of the last two seasons, against Borac Banja Luka and then Breidablik.

Petrocub will believe they have missed a massive opportunity against ten men and at home last week, with a low-scoring encounter seeming very likely for this second-leg.

Egnatia vs Petrocub Hincesti tip: Under 2.5 goals
