Shkendija vs Samsunspor prediction

Shkendija come into this one on the back of scraping into the top 24 of the league phase of the UEFA Europa Conference League, having been reliant on their home form throughout the campaign and all of their UEFA competitions.

Samsunspor most recently succumbed to a 3-1 defeat to Antalyaspor in the Super Lig in their last four matches in 17 matches across all competitions. They were surprise qualifiers for Europe via the Super Lig last season.

Shkendija will fancy themselves to cause an upset in North Macedonia, even if Samsunspor do remain favourites for the tie overall.

Shkendija vs Samsunspor tip: Double chance – Shkendija to win or draw
