Koper to keep juggernaut rolling at home
The odds look favourable for FC Koper to follow up their recent 2-0 win over NSI Runavík with another victory when they host NSI Runavík at the SRC Bonifika Stadion on Thursday.
Koper, who are priced at 1.48 for the match, have shown a terrific amount of class, winning their last 5 games in a row, including a 2-0 away win at NK Nafta Lendava and a 2-0 win over NSI Runavík in the first meeting in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026.
Zoran Zeljković has his team set up in a disciplined 4-2-3-1 formation with a double pivot that dictates the tempo of the game and keeps the team compact. Koper are not just a one-trick pony either, scoring 2.33 goals per game at home in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026, conceding just 1.00 per game.
Runavík are no easy beats.
NSI Runavík have been solid on the road, winning 3, drawing 1 and losing 1 of their last 5 away matches in all competitions, scoring 2.80 goals per away game on average.
Sigurður Ragnar Eyjólfsson sets his team up to play a high-tempo, pressing game and the contrast of styles could make this an engaging clash in the midfield, with Koper the obvious favourite to win the tie 2-0.
The correct score odds offer little value in this matchup, with Koper 1.48 and Runavík 6.15 for the win and the draw at 4.9. The goals markets look more enticing, with Over 2.5 coming in at 1.52 and Both Teams To Score - Yes at 1.72.
Brown Irabor has been Koper's danger man in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 with 2 goals in 1, while his 4 goals in the last 5 games makes him the Slovenian club's most reliable source of goals. Petur Knudsen is the talisman for Runavík, also scoring 2 in 3 games in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026, while 3 of his 6 goals in the competition have come in the last 5 matches.
The best bet still looks to be Koper to win at 1.48, as the Slovenian side are the superior team, in superior form and they're playing on home ground. However, with Koper expected to dominate once again, the goals and both teams to score markets should be considered if you fancy a flurry of goals.
