Borac Banja Luka-Rapid Vienna, the probable formations

After eliminating Olimpia Ljubljana in the playoff doubleheader, Borac Banja Luka will face Rapid Vienna in the first leg of the Conference League round of 16. Kickoff is at 9 p.m. at Gradski Stadion. Whoever wins will face the winner of the doubleheader between Pafos and Djurgarden in the quarterfinals.

Zizovic should bet on Despotovic as center forward, with Vukovic, Savic and Kulasin making up the trequartista line. In the middle of the field, trust the duo of Nikolov and Ogrinec. Klauss, on the other hand, should rely on the offensive tandem formed by Beljo and Jansson. In defense, protecting Hedl, there will be Cvetkovic and Raux Yao in the center, with Auer and Bolla as full-backs.
