Victor Tedesco Stadium will host an intriguing Conference League first qualifying round decider as Hamrun Spartans and NSI Runavik battle for a place in the next round. The first leg ended in a 1-1 draw, with the Maltese outfit showing great character to come from behind and keep the tie perfectly balanced. Hamrun have no fresh injury concerns ahead of Thursday's clash, allowing the coaching staff to field their strongest possible XI. Backed by their passionate home supporters, the Spartans will be confident of taking another step towards the second qualifying round.
NSI Runavik, meanwhile, remain a dangerous opponent despite missing the chance to take a first-leg advantage. The Faroese side have enjoyed a productive run of form, collecting 1.8 points per game from their last ten matches while scoring an impressive 2.3 goals per outing. Their away fixtures have been particularly entertaining, averaging five total goals per match, with both teams scoring in 80% of those games. However, the visitors have been dealt an injury blow, as defender Alex Freyr Elisson is expected to miss out after limping off in the first leg, meaning Filip Drincic should replace him in defence.
As home advantage should prove decisive in a finely balanced tie, we are tempted to place our bets on Home Win, alongside Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals (NSI's away matches have been high-scoring, and both sides will be chasing qualification).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 16 July 2026 at 18:30.
