Borac Banja Luka and KuPS meet in the Europa Conference League. There is no head-to-head history to look back on, but the context on both sides is clearly different. Borac Banja Luka have just lost 1-2 in this competition, while KuPS have just been thrashed 2-4 in a cup match as well. Both therefore need points to keep their cup campaigns on track. Borac Banja Luka have done well in their own league, winning 7 of 9 matches, scoring 17 and conceding 7, but once they step onto the cup stage gaps start to show in their defence. As for KuPS in the Veikkausliga, over 22 matches they have won 12, drawn 7 and lost 3, scoring 38 and conceding 23, but in 4 of their last five matches they have finished with no more than 2 goals: 0-1 twice in a row and 2-0 in another two. That says quite a lot. The game is likely to open with both sides cautious. Borac Banja Luka have a chance to dominate possession according to the numbers: over their last 10 matches they have averaged 55.4% possession per game. But KuPS have not come to trade blows. If the first half ends with few goals, the second half may see Borac Banja Luka push higher and KuPS wait to counter, and that is when the game will clearly change from the first half.
