เอฟเค เดชิช vs ลีเยปาย่า

FK Liepaja host Dečić in the UEFA Conference League first qualifying round, with a first-leg advantage on home soil the prize on Thursday. The Latvians finished third in their domestic league, while the Montenegrins earned their European spot with a fourth-place finish, making this a fairly even tie on paper. Liepaja's home form makes them the clear favourites, though. They have won four of their last five matches at Daugavas Stadions and carry a vastly superior home power rating into this tie. Dečić, by contrast, have been woeful recently, winless in their last five competitive games with just two goals scored, and their away record offers little reason for optimism. All signs point to a cagey, low-scoring affair with the hosts grinding out a narrow win. Expert consensus and the betting markets heavily favour Liepaja to take a lead into the second leg. Our prediction: 1-0
