Sutjeska Niksic and Dinamo Brest get their quest for UEFA Conference League football underway when they go head-to-head on Thursday. Both sides set out in search of a first-leg advantage and we anticipate an action-packed contest at the Gradski Stadion Niksic.
Sutjeska Niksic capped off their pre-season campaign on a positive note as they held their own to secure a 2-1 victory over Spartak Subotica on June 30.
Before that, Milija Savovic’s men were on a five-game winless run across all competitions, losing three and claiming two draws while conceding 13 goals and scoring just three in that time.
Sutjeska head into the new season off the back of a solid 2024-25 campaign as they secured a third-placed finish in the Montenegrin top-flight standings with 51 points from 36 games.
Meanwhile, Dinamo Brest returned to winning ways in style as they cruised to a 3-0 victory over SFK Slutsk in the Belarus Vysshaya Liga last Friday.
Before that, Aleksandr Sednev’s men were on a two-game losing run in the league, suffering consecutive defeats against Gomel and Dinamo Minsk while conceding six goals and failing to hit the target across both games.
Dinamo Brest secured a fourth-placed finish in the league last season after picking up 49 points from their 30 games, two points above fifth-placed Vitebsk.
