KuPS have had a much rougher time of it. Over the same sample they've won six, drawn five and lost nine, with almost as many goals conceded as scored. They go into this one on a three-match losing run, including a 4-2 home defeat to Trabzonspor in the Conference League just a few days ago.

KuPS arrive with a genuine dip in form rather than just one bad night.

European form tells a different story

Borac's overall numbers look strong, but their continental results haven't matched their domestic form. Their most recent game outside Bosnia, away at Panathinaikos, ended in a 2-1 defeat, a reminder that this stage of the competition brings a different level to the sides they've been beating at home.

KuPS come into this off that heavy loss to Trabzonspor and two more defeats either side of it. They've had some decent European nights this season too, but the current run suggests confidence won't be high as they travel to Bosnia.
