Borac BB vs KI Prediction and Betting Tips | August 15th 2024

Borac BB welcome KI to Gradski stadion Banja Luka for the second leg of their UEFA Europa League third-round qualification tie on Thursday. The visitors hold a narrow lead in the tie, having claimed a 2-1 home win in the first leg in the Faroe Islands last week.

All three goals came in the first half, with Pall Klettskard and Kristoffer Odemarksbakken scoring either side of Mark Jensen's own goal.

Klaksvik followed up their continental win with a 2-1 comeback home victory over IF Fuglafjordur in the Faroese Premier League. They went behind to Gundur Petersen's 40th-minute strike. Joseph Williams and Pall Klettskard scored second-half goals to complete the comeback as their visitors ended the game with 10 men.

Borac, meanwhile, have not been in domestic action despite their league having begun at the start of August. They are scheduled to kick-start their title defense this weekend.

The winner of this tie will face Besiktas in the playoff round for a place in the group stage while the losers drop into the UEFA Conference League.

They will also be keen to get some positive form going ahead of the resumption of their league title defense.
