Sutjeska
Milija Savovic's side failed to secure a positive result in the first leg at home. As a result, Sutjeska has not won in eight of their last ten Europa Conference League matches (4 draws, 4 losses). Furthermore, in 10 of their last 11 matches in this European competition, the team has not scored more than one goal. To progress to the next round of qualification, the North Macedonian representatives need to win by at least two goals over 90 minutes. If the club wins by one goal, extra time will be played.

Dinamo Brest vs. Sutjeska: Match Prediction
The Belarusians delivered a solid performance in the first leg against Sutjeska and are rightfully aiming for a maximum result in the return match. Additionally, Dinamo Brest has been strong in recent home European matches, securing four victories in their last six home encounters. During this period, Brest struggled only against teams with extensive European experience, such as Ludogorets and Viktoria Plzeň.
Sutjeska had a weak showing in the first match and generally appears uncertain in away games in European club competitions. The Montenegrins have lost 3 of their last 4 away matches in the Europa Conference League. Furthermore, the team has suffered defeat in 11 of their last 15 away games across all European competitions, conceding at least two goals in eight of these encounters. I expect another strong performance from the Belarusians; therefore, my prediction: Dinamo Brest to win
