⭐ Editor's Prediction
Despite the difference in class, Runavik have a real chance of at least avoiding defeat at home. The Faroese side are in excellent form, while Koper are only just getting into their season. The home crowd will be massive, and that kind of support can make a real difference. Slovenian clubs have historically struggled in European away games, and the long trip to the Faroe Islands won't help. Runavik will likely make it scrappy and try to keep things tight, which could be enough to get something from the first leg. We're backing the double chance for Runavik. A 1-1 draw looks possible.
