Petrocub vs Borac Banja Luka
📖 The Preview
Look, the aggregate situation tells you everything here. Borac come in with a 3-0 first leg lead, so realistically they just need to not completely fall apart. Petrocub have to score four without reply to go through in normal time, which simply isn't happening given their recent form has been pretty woeful. Borac can afford to sit back and absorb pressure, which suits a low-scoring, tight game perfectly. One Petrocub goal feels about right as they push forward desperately, but it won't be nearly enough to overturn this tie.
