Shkendija vs Europa prediction

The first-leg of this UEFA Europa Conference League first qualifying round tie saw Shkendija annihilate Europa by five goals to nil at Victoria Stadium in Gibraltar. Fabrice Tamba scored a brace with other goals being scored by Fahd Ndzengue, Almir Kryeziu and Besart Ibraimi.

Shkendija reached the league phase of the UEFA Europa Conference League last season and are even better when they play at home, while Europa will now be in the mindset of damage limitation.

Shkendija may well rotate here but, even with that, their home advantage should ensure they produce another hammering of Europa on Thursday.

Shkendija vs Europa tip: Shkendija to win -1 handicap
