The UEFA Conference League qualifier match between Maribor and FC Differdange will take place at Ljudski Vrt Stadium on Friday at 12:00 am IST.
On Thursday, Maribor will welcome Differdange to Ljudski Vrt Stadium in Slovenia for the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round. The current situation of the tie is perfectly balanced, given that the teams played to a 1-1 draw in the first leg last week, with Maribor managing to equalize during stoppage time. Erico Castro broke the deadlock for Differdange in the 25th minute, leaving Maribor struggling to find the equalizer for an extended period, making it seem like a potential victory for the Luxembourg side. Nevertheless, Maribor’s perseverance paid off in the end, as Arnel Jakupovic netted a crucial goal in the sixth minute of extra time, forcing a draw and leaving the outcome of the tie uncertain.
The upcoming match in Maribor holds significant importance, and the home team, known as the Purples, will approach it with confidence, especially considering their strong start in the Slovenian PrvaLiga. With two consecutive wins, a convincing 4-0 away victory over Radomlje and a 1-0 win against Aluminij, Maribor currently sits atop the league table with six points. On the other hand, Differdange, from Luxembourg, played just two friendly matches before the first leg, managing to win both. Their top-flight campaign is set to begin on the weekend, giving Paolo Amodio’s team ample time to rest and prepare for the decisive encounter.
