Borac better than their opponents
Borac first blooded themselves in this UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 fixture by edging Belarusian side Maxline Vitebsk 1-0 earlier this week and they'll hope to build on that in Thursday's second leg at Mezokovesdi Varosi Stadion in Hungary.
Borac won one of their opening two European games but they did pick up a 3-3 draw with Moldova's CS Petrocub before this week's 1-0 victory over Maxline. That shows that they are a tough nut to crack, and it may take some real pressure to see them off in this second leg, which has all the ingredients to be a real nail-biter.
Maxline beat FK Sutjeska Niksic 2-1 in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 before slipping to a 1-0 loss to Borac, but they enter this match with the less impressive all-competition form of 5-1-4 in their last 10 matches.
Marinovic's men are a compact bunch
Filipp Sokolinskiy has led Maxline since 19th June 2026 and his side have played with plenty of verve and energy in the final third, implementing a high press and making the most of their wing-heavy team to get into the attacking zones in transition.
Vinko Marinovic has been in charge of Borac since 21st July 2025 and has set up his team in a more compact 4-2-3-1 or 4-5-1, allowing his side to keep the ball and play in a controlled fashion, which should allow them to keep the opponents at arm's length here.
Backing the Under 2.5 goals line at 4/5 looks a good fit for this tactical battle, as does both teams to score - No at 49/50 as opponents look to get on top in a cagey affair. The draw is available at 121/50, which is an even bigger price than Maxline's odds of 139/100, while Borac are 101/50 here.
