AC Escaldes - Vaduz: Match preview
In the first game between these teams, Vaduz seemingly settled the question of who would win this tie. Although for a period they were unable to extend their advantage, the first goal came in the 11th minute, followed by another in the 54th minute, before the team scored two more goals late in the match. As a result, the Liechtenstein side secured a 4-0 victory.
AC Escaldes beat Mornar Bar 4-2 on aggregate in the first qualifying round, but it seems their run will end here. Last season, they finished fifth in the league but managed to win the Andorran Cup, earning a chance to compete in European competition. However, the team's overall level is clearly low.
Despite being a club from Liechtenstein, Vaduz play in the Swiss Super League, having earned promotion last season. In addition, they won the Liechtenstein Cup last season and now have a chance to compete in Europe. Vaduz have also started their domestic campaign and played their first Super League match, losing 1-2 to Lugano.
