FC Differdange 03 vs Drita Prediction and Betting Tips

FC Differdange host Drita on Tuesday for the second leg of their clash in the UEFA Champions League first qualifying round. Following a narrow 1-0 loss in their first encounter last week, the Luxembourg outfit are currently trailing in the fixture and need to win on home turf to advance.

Arb Manaj was the lone scorer that evening as he broke Differdange's resistance in the 73rd minute to give Drita a slender advantage in the tie, while also extending the former's winless run away from home in Europe to 13 games.

Since making their first and last appearance in a European tournament back in 2007 at the Intertoto Cup, Differdange have consistently fallen in the qualifier rounds. Last year, they reached the second round of the Conference League qualifiers but lost to Kazakh side Ordabasy on penalties.

On the other hand, Drita made it all the way to the playoffs last year before Legia Warsaw beat them 3-0 on aggregate, preventing them from qualifying for the tournament finals.

The Kosovan side only need a draw to advance into the next round but have struggled away from home lately, losing their last two qualifying games on the road.
