Cosmos will play the hosts on Thursday at 18:50 GMT when they welcome Sutjeska Niksic to the San Marino Stadium for the second leg of the Europa Conference League second qualifying round.
Key Highlights
Cosmos will be looking to bounce back from the first leg 0-1 defeat they suffered away to Sutjeska last week. Being the home team, they will look to leverage the atmosphere generated at the San Marino Stadium on Thursday to push them over the line, especially in grabbing the first goal and leveling the tie.
Sutjeska will look to defend their slender lead away from home. The manager will prepare his charges mentally and physically for a charged atmosphere and a combative Cosmos approach to the match.
Sutjeska, therefore, will look to be compact and solid in their approach. They will especially be focused on their form given their mixed results in recent rounds of fixtures. In their last four, Sutjeska have won just once, drawing twice and losing once. The loss came in a clash against Arsenal Tivat, which ended in a 0-2 reverse.
Given the balance of the tie, the second leg is bound to be more explosive as the two sides throw caution to the wind and go for the win.
Injury Report
Neither side has reported significant injuries ahead of their clash on Thursday.
Prediction
Cosmos and Sutjeska Niksic will fight to a draw on the night, with Sutjeska winning on aggregate, given their lead from the first leg.
