Decic and Sileks square off in the first leg of the UEFA Conference League first qualification round on Thursday at Tusko.
The hosts haven't been in action since a 1-0 victory over Mornar Bar in the Montenegrin Cup final. Asmir Kajevic's goal midway through the first half settled the contest.
Sileks, meanwhile, were last in action when they saw off Shkendija 3-1 away from home in their final game of the North Macedonian MFL in May. They went into the break with a two-goal lead, thanks to Marko Gjorgjievski's first half brace. Fiton Ademi stepped off the bench to half the deficit, but Angelce Timovski made sure of the result in injury time after Shkendija were reduced to 10 men.
The Kratovo Boys booked their spot at this stage of the Conference League Qualifiers, courtesy of their runners-up finish in the MFL last season, while Decic qulified as Montenegrin Cup winners.
The winner of this tie face Rapid Vienna in the next round of the qualifiers.
