Match preview: Shkendija vs FCSB

Shkendija and FCSB come together at Toše Proeski Arena for their UEFA Champions League qualification (Round 2). Based on recent data, there have been no prior encounters between these two teams. The home advantage could be significant, as Shkendija shows considerable disparity in results when playing at home compared to away.

Team analysis: Shkendija

The home team enters this second round following a draw in their opening group stage fixture against The New Saints (1-1). Shkendija tends to perform better at home, achieving a record of 8 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses at home, scoring 20 goals and conceding 9. In their last three home matches, they have recorded 1 victory, 1 draw, and 1 loss. Although their defence has struggled, conceding goals in 6 of the last 8 matches, their attack remains consistent, finding the net in 7 out of those 8 games. On 4 occasions, they conceded first but managed to come back once.

Shkendija is poised to seek a victory in this Champions League encounter to build a lead for the return leg, playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation. They focus on solidifying their defence with two holding midfielders while three creative players in midfield craft offensive opportunities. Recently, their home performances have been erratic, with four wins, one draw, and one defeat in the last six games, and all six saw over 2.5 goals, with five games featuring both teams scoring.

Team analysis: FCSB

The visiting side arrives for their second match after losing 2-1 in their initial group stage match against Inter Club d’Ascabs. They have been solid away from home recently, with 8 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses in their last 30 games on the road. FCSB comes into this match after claiming victory against Petrolul 52 (0-1). Across their last 10 matches in all competitions, they have won 5, drawn 3, and lost 2. However, they have conceded goals in 7 of those games, indicating areas for defensive improvement, while they have consistently found the net, scoring at least once in the last 10 games. Notably, they scored first in 12 of their last 15 matches, leading at half-time in 6 of those and maintaining their advantage for 90 minutes in 9 matches.

Entering this second phase of the Champions League, FCSB is aware of the likelihood of conceding goals, which necessitates their scoring efforts as well. They prefer a 4-2-3-1 formation, aiming to protect their defensive area with two midfielders while three players work to create offensive movements, looking to utilise their centre-forward. Their recent away form is positive, having achieved five wins, two draws, and one defeat in the last eight outings, with seven of these games featuring more than 1.5 goals and both teams scoring on six occasions.
