Team Analysis
Egnatia The "Green-Blacks" first appeared in the country's top division twenty years ago but only stayed for a year. They made a serious return a couple of years ago, winning their first trophy, the Albanian Cup, two seasons ago. This spring, they completed the "golden double."
A year ago, the team made its debut in European competitions, in the Conference League, drawing twice with Ararat-Armenia and losing on penalties. In the first leg against Borac Banja Luka, they played with nine men away but were defeated.
Borac Banja Luka The "Red-Blues" won the Yugoslav Cup in 1988, a significant achievement given the intense competition. However, they have not been consistently successful in the independent era of Bosnia and Herzegovina, claiming only their third championship title this spring.
Bosnian teams rarely play in European competitions and don't last long when they do. This time, Borac Banja Luka won the first leg, but their opponent played with ten men for over half an hour, finishing with nine. Hrelja scored the winning goal in the sixth added minute after coming off the bench.
