Borac Banja Luka host KuPS in the UEFA Europa Conference League. Borac have been picking up wins regularly on their own patch, while KuPS have found results harder to come by on the road.
Both sides have already been through continental qualifying this season, and this league-phase clash comes a good month after the form we're looking at here. That leaves some uncertainty over how each side's shape has held up by kickoff.

KuPS's record is more modest: 9 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses from 20 games, with 30 scored and 22 conceded. Their recent run has been choppy - a 2-4 home defeat to Mariehamn sits alongside a goalless draw with HJK Helsinki and a 2-0 away win at VPS, so consistency hasn't been their strong point.
On this sample, Borac look the sturdier side heading into the fixture.
Comparative Team Statistics: Borac Banja Luka vs KuPS


European road so far
Both clubs have already been busy in Europe this season. Borac went through qualifying rounds beating Vikingur Reykjavik and edging past Petrocub and ML Vitebsk, while KuPS navigated Champions League qualifying against Sabah FA and Vardar Skopje before dropping into the Europa League and then this competition. That kind of schedule can leave squads managing fatigue and rotation, though we don't know how either group will look by the time this one kicks off.
This match itself sits about a month beyond the date these figures were taken, so the form described here is a snapshot rather than a guarantee of what turns up on the night.

Going purely on the numbers, Borac Banja Luka look the more reliable side of the two right now, especially on their own ground. KuPS have shown they can win away but also that they can be beaten heavily, so that inconsistency is worth flagging.
With no market reference to lean on for this preview, we're not making a pick here. The form angle favours the hosts, but that's as far as we can take it without a price to test.
