FC St. Coloma vs Sutjeska Prediction
Sutjeska have a healthy two-goal lead in the tie and are unlikely to be too adventurous in search of goals. Progressing behind this stage will be a first for the Montenegrin side.
Coloma, meanwhile, have nothing to lose and need to score at least twice to have any hopes of progression. However, their inconsistency and lack of pedigree on the continent could count against them.
Although either side could nick a win, the spoils could be shared in a low-scoring draw.
