Koper vs NSI Runavik
📖 The Preview
Koper head into this second leg with a two-goal cushion from the first leg, so they can essentially sit back, keep it tight, and let NSI Runavik come at them. That's exactly the scenario that suits a 1-0 outcome — Koper nicking one on the counter while keeping the door shut. NSI need to win by two just to force extra time, which is a big ask given Koper's decent recent form and the fact the model only gives the Faroese side a one-in-five shot at winning this.
