FK Vardar vs La Fiorita Prediction and Betting Tips

Vardar host La Fiorita at the Tose Proeski Arena on Thursday for the first leg of their clash in the UEFA Europa Conference League first qualifying round. After a gap of seven years, Vardar are back in the mix again, thanks to their fifth-placed finish in the 2024-25 Macedonian First League season.

The Red-Blacks famously qualified for the group stages of the Europa League back in 2017, but after failing to win a single fixture, bowed out in the first round itself.

Nonetheless, it was a watershed moment in Macedonian football history and perhaps the club's biggest achievement in modern history too. But Vardar failed to build on that and disappeared from European football without a trace after going out in the first qualifying round of the Europa League the following year.

As for La Fiorita, the San Matino outfit's history in Europe is marked by a series of shortcomings in the qualifying rounds in modern history. Their last appearance at a major competition came way back in 2004, when the side qualified for the Intertoto Cup.
