The Blue & Whites have suffered two defeats in their last three games in all competitions, though both defeats came away from home. They have a 100% home record this season and will aim to take the lead on the aggregate in this match. Interestingly, they have failed to score in eight of their last 11 home games in Europe, including qualifiers.
