Tight game expected as Conference League qualifiers clash
FC Dila Gori are the heavy favourites (1.48) ahead of AC Virtus Acquaviva's (7.0) attempt to pull off a significant upset in this UEFA Conference League qualification clash at Tengiz Burjanadze Stadium in Georgia on Thursday.
Tactics
Akis Vavalis was appointed FC Dila Gori boss on 20 June 2026 and the Greek tactician will set his side up to play a high-tempo, possession-based game against an opponent they should dominate on paper. Dila's formation is usually a fluid 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and they will always look to win the ball back in the most advanced areas of the field, pressing high.
AC Virtus Acquaviva, meanwhile, have a much more pragmatic 4-2-3-1 set-up, which sees them deploy a low-to-medium block and focus on counters and set pieces, especially on the road. Oscar Muratori has only been in charge since 1 July 2026, but the Italian has enough time to get the team accustomed to his philosophy.
Form guide
On the face of it, Dila's recent form looks very good with back-to-back wins making it 2 wins and 1 defeat from 3, however, the Eagles have won only 3 of their last 10 in all competitions (1 draw, 6 defeats).
Dila will come at Virtus in this tie, so the clash of styles could make this a battle of territory and possession.
- At home, they have won 2, drew 1 and lost 2 of their 5 games, conceding only 5 goals.
- Virtus' form is slightly better with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat from their last 5, but the last 2 games were against Domagnano in the league with a 2-1 home win and a 2-1 away defeat.
- In total, however, they have won 5, drawn 3 and lost only 2 of their last 10, which makes them the sharper of the two clubs.
