Vardar and KuPS face each other at National Arena Toshe Proeski in what promises to be one of the most exciting matchups of the Champions League first qualifying round. As both sides seem to be capable of finding the net, we predict a 1-1 draw. The North Macedonia champions head into the European opener in high spirits after defeating Virtus of San Marino in their final warm-up match. Azer Omeragic, who scored 14 league goals during Vardar's title-winning campaign, is expected to spearhead the hosts' attack. Vardar have been in outstanding form, winning eight of their last ten matches in all competitions while averaging 2.8 goals scored and conceding just 0.3 per game. Their home record is particularly impressive, with five consecutive victories ahead of this clash.
KuPS, meanwhile, are already deep into the Finnish Veikkausliiga season and currently lead the title race. The visitors arrive full of confidence after an emphatic 4-0 victory over Finnish giants HJK. New signing Jaime Jose Moreno Ciorciari has settled in brilliantly, scoring eight league goals already this season to establish himself as KuPS' main attacking weapon. The Finnish champions have collected 22 points from their last ten matches in all competitions, averaging 1.9 goals per game while conceding only 0.8, making them a dangerous opponent despite playing away from home.
As each side possesses plenty of attacking quality and should create scoring opportunities, we are tempted to place our bets on Both Teams to Score, with additional value on Half-Time Draw and Draw.
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 7 July 2026 at 18:00.
