First-leg win gives Auda edge
Match context
With a 1-0 lead, FK Auda will arrive in Albania with a sense of confidence, knowing that they can make life tough for a Dinamo Tirana side that has a tendency to stretch Auda's shape.
Managers and tactics
Ilir Daja has been in charge of Dinamo Tirana since 11 September 2024 and gives them a flexible, vertical setup that can flip into a 3-5-2 in Europe. Didier Zanetti has a very different challenge on his hands after taking over at FK Auda on 1 January 2026. Auda are organized in a compact 4-1-4-1 system that protects the middle and can also break quickly from the back with numbers.
Tight affair expected on Thursday
This game has the potential to be a width-versus-central-density battle, with Dinamo trying to stretch Auda's shape while Auda look to clog lanes and counter through the channels.
Dinamo have won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 and have won 2, drawn 1 and lost 1 at home in all current competitions. They do average 1.75 goals per game at the Air Albania Stadium and have scored seven times in their last four on their own patch.
Auda have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 1 on the road in all current competitions, which is not bad considering they are unbeaten in their last 5 and average 1.00 goals on the road. They have scored four times in their four away games in the competition.
Auda are worth a small wager at a slight underdog
Dinamo come into this game at 2.09, which is a little generous in our opinion and Auda are 3.52 with the draw at 3.57.
- Auda are in the better form and have the edge from the 1-0 victory in the last meeting, but Dinamo can make a game of this and a 1.85 under 2.5 goals and both teams to score – No bet fits a tight, tactical scrap better than a away win.
- Hekuran Berisha is Dinamo's danger man in this competition with two goals in five games while Diedhiou has four in three games for Auda. Both are worth a bet on to score at any time.
