In addition to the UEFA Champions League qualification, a match between The New Saints and Petrocub will take place on Tuesday, August 13, as part of the Europa League qualification. The game is set to begin at 19:30 Central European Time, and experts from Dailysports have prepared a prediction for this match.
The New Saints
The Welsh team started their season in the first round of the UEFA Champions League qualification. The New Saints advanced past their first opponent with an aggregate score of 4-1. However, in the next round, they were eliminated by Ferencváros with an aggregate score of 1-7, which sent them to the Europa League. The first match against Petrocub was closely contested, with a single own goal in the 20th minute deciding the game. The domestic Welsh championship has just begun, but The New Saints missed the first round. Their form is not particularly convincing, having lost three, drawn one, and won just one of their last five matches.
Petrocub
The Moldovan team is also skipping domestic league matches, but their season began in the first round of the UEFA Champions League qualification. Petrocub managed to advance past their first opponent with a narrow 1-0 victory but was then eliminated by APOEL with a 1-2 aggregate score. As mentioned earlier, the first game against The New Saints was tense, and Petrocub benefited from an own goal. Their form is also inconsistent, with two wins, two draws, and one loss. It’s worth noting that last season’s championship was Petrocub's first in their history. Additionally, this season, they have a real chance to qualify for European competitions for the first time, as their previous attempts ended in the qualifying rounds.
