FK Borac Banja Luka host BK Maxline Vitebsk in the UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round. CheckLive's numbers favour the home side, giving them a 58% win probability, but the signal is only medium — this one is far from settled. A place in the next round is the prize for the winner.
Borac's recent form is mixed: they drew 3-3 with FC Petrocub Hîncesti before winning the return leg 3-0, but they also lost 0-4 and drew 1-1 with Levski Sofia, and were beaten 1-3 by Akhmat Grozny. Vitebsk have looked sharp in qualifying, beating FK Sutjeska Nikšić 2-1 and 3-0, though they lost 0-1 and 1-4 to CS Universitatea Craiova before a 4-2 league win over Slavia Mozyr.
The two sides have never met before, so there is no head-to-head evidence to lean on. Borac showed resilience in their last European tie, but the defensive issues from the Levski and Akhmat games are a worry. Vitebsk carry goal threat, which makes a draw a genuine possibility here.
