Gjilani and Liepaja go head to head at Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri in the opening match of their Conference League qualifying campaign. Gjilani play home matches at different stadium, but the bookies still see them as favourites to win Thursday’s clash. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be new signing Alassane Keita, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
FK Liepaja, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Riga at the weekend. Even though tired legs could prove to be a big problem for the away side, we believe that they are capable of holding Gjilani to a draw in Pristina. It has to be noted that the two sides have never met before in European competitions. Last season Liepaja were more than unfortunate not to eliminated CSKA Sofia in the double-header, with the Latvian outfit losing on penalties.
