Shkendija vs FCSB prediction
In the first qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League, Shkendija managed to squeeze past Welsh champions The New Saints after two close and hard-fought legs. TNS were held to a goalless draw in the first-leg in Oswestry, before Shkendija progressed in the second-leg as they won by two goals to one late on in extra-time.
They now face the artist formerly known as Steaua Bucharest, FCSB, who are currently coached by Elias Charalambous. They were in the league phase of the UEFA Europa League last season, but underwhelmed in their defeat of 4-3 aggregate defeat of Andorran champions Inter Club d’Escaldes in the first qualifying round.
Shkendija showed their obduracy but lack of attacking threat against TNS, whilst FCSB will be better for the run out and should once again be favourites for both legs here.
