KuPS will look to finish the job when they take on Vardar in the second leg of their Champions League first qualifying round tie. The Finnish champions head into the return match with a comfortable 2-0 advantage from the first leg and are in an excellent position to reach the next round. KuPS were not involved in domestic action at the weekend, allowing their key players to stay fresh for this decisive clash. There are no fresh injury concerns for the hosts, while in-form winger Bob Armah is once again expected to be their biggest attacking threat. KuPS have been in outstanding form of late, winning seven of their last ten matches and averaging 2.0 goals per game while conceding only 0.7. They have also collected an impressive 2.4 points per game during that period.
Vardar, on the other hand, have no option but to chase the game after failing to break down KuPS in the first meeting. The visitors have enjoyed an excellent run of form themselves, winning eight of their last ten matches and averaging 2.8 goals per game, but midfielder Nemanja Bosancic is suspended after accumulating yellow cards, which is a significant blow. Vardar's attack-minded approach should leave space at the back, something the Finnish side are more than capable of exploiting on the counter.
KuPS hold a two-goal advantage, are well rested, and have already shown they can neutralise Vardar's attack. Therefore, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside KuPS to Win to Nil and Under 3.5 goals (Vardar are likely to push forward, but KuPS should be content controlling the tempo and protecting their aggregate lead).
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 14 July 2026 at 16:00.
