KI vs Borac BB Prediction and Betting Tips | August 8th 2024

KI and Borac BB will trade tackles in the first leg of their UEFA Europa League third-round qualification tie on Thursday. The hosts will be looking to build on the 4-0 thrashing they dished out to 07 Vestur Sorvagur in the Faroese Premier League on Sunday.

Kristoffer Odemarksbakken scored a first-half brace while Joannes Danielsen and Pall Klettskard scored second-half goals to help their side claim all three points.

Klaksvik will turn their focus to the continent, having dropped into the Europa League following their 6-4 aggregate defeat to Malmo in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. They suffered a 4-1 away defeat in the first leg in Sweden and, despite their 3-2 comeback home win in the second leg, they were eliminated.

Borac, meanwhile, also dropped down from the Champions League following a 1-0 defeat at home to PAOK in the second leg of their qualifiers. Thomas Murg's 25th-minute strike helped the Greeks claim the win and advance with a 4-2 aggregate victory.

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.
