Borac and Sarajevo will be in search for visa to UEFA League in tomorrow’s (July 12) matches.

Borac Banja Luka will be playing against Montenegrin team Çelik Niksiç. The first leg, played in Banja Luka was resulted in a 2-2 draw. Borac forged ahead twice during the match but could not avoid Nikşiç’s Bosnian player Semir Agoviç’s goal at 85th minute. The ongoing objection of Borac players against Turkish origin Dutch referee Serdar Gözübüyük resulted in two red cards for Borac players Kantar and Dujakoviç.

Borac, who lost the advantage in the first leg is expected to be more serious in the second leg. Tomorrow at 17:30 in Nikşiç, it is expected that the temperature will be over 40 degrees. If Borac will be victorious or if the match will be resulted with a draw where more than four goals will be scored, Banja Luka team will be the qualifying part. The qualifier will player with Ukrainian team Metalurh Donetsk by July 19 for the second qualification round.

Sarajevo on the other side expects to have an easy match against Maltese Hibernians. In the first leg, the early goal by Suljiç at second minute led to sluggishness which gave opportunity to Maltese to score at 20th by Farrugia and at 33rd at Rodolfo Soares. However, two splashing goals made Sarajevo to wake up and they finished the match with a 5-2 victory. Probably, Sarajevo will be qualified after the revenge match in Malta and play with Bulgarian Levski Sofia in the second qualification round.

Another match of tomorrow will be between St. Patrick’s from Ireland and IBV from Iceland. The first leg which was played in Ireland was 1-0 victory for the host team. The qualifier will be playing against Şiroki Brijeg in second qualification round.

Zeljeznicar, on the other side will play away match against Slovenian Maribor at July 18 for the first qualification group of Champions League.
