Brighton and Tromso could not be separated in Norway a week ago and now they meet again, this time at the Amex Stadium, with a place in the Conference League league phase up for grabs.
Odds of 1/7 suggest that Albion should have few concerns about making it through and Sunday's 4-0 demolition of Aston Villa in their Premier League opener will have topped up their self-belief.
However, Tromso looked a competent team in their own backyard last Thursday and memories of their remarkable 7-1 aggregate hammering of decent Romanian outfit Cluj in the previous round of Conference League qualifying will have them believing this is not mission impossible.
Brighton v Tromso Tips Summary
Best Bet - Over 2.5 Tromso corners @ 5/6
Alternative Bet - Brighton & Both teams to score @ 7/4
Bet Builder - Brighton/Brighton - Half Time/Full Time, Giorginio Rutter to score anytime & Over 10 corners @ 11/2
Brighton v Tromso Prediction
Best Bet: Over 2.5 Tromso corners @ 5/6
The Seagulls may be short enough given it's only the third game of their season and they could only draw in Norway, but the class in Fabian Hurzeler's side really ought to tell eventually.
What it should be - like both of Albion's games so far - is decent to watch with plenty of chances, mainly at one end, and probably a fair few corners as well.
And the corners might well be at both ends.
Interestingly, Tromso won bet365's Race to 3 Corners market against the odds last week - they had chalked up three corners inside 25 minutes - and the Norwegians went on to register five corners in a match haul of 16.
Away from home they are going to be under the cosh, but Brighton's style does offer opportunities for opponents and Tromso's corner count looks low at 2.5.
They have won 24 corners in five European ties this season and against competent opponents.
Alternative Bet: Brighton & Both teams to score @ 7/4
Two games played, two clean sheets, which will be music to the ears of Hurzeler.
Despite seeing yet more players leave the club in the summer, the Germanhas still got his new-look team organised well enough to shut out both Tromso and Villa.
Granted, Villa played into their hands with a shambolic effort at the Amex on Sunday and, down to 10 men before half-time, had little to fight back with.
Tromso, who have scored 23 goals in their last six away games albeit at a very different level to Brighton's, should pose more of a threat.
There is every likelihood they will be chasing the game at some point and there is no fallback competition to be demoted into after this game - you either qualify for the league phase or your 2026/27 European adventure is over.
The first game saw plenty of chances, so should this with Brighton taken to win and with both teams finding the net.
Brighton v Tromso Bet Builder Tip
Brighton/Brighton - Half Time/Full Time
Giorginio Rutter to score anytime
Over 10 corners
Pays 11/2
It is easy to be carried away by Brighton's 4-0 win over Villa, though Unai Emery's men certainly helped to make Albion look very good.
Scoring goals against 11 men was an issue for Brighton last season whose shot conversion rate was poor.
But Albion had an excellent pre-season as well so they are buzzing and having landed Half-Time/Full-Time honours against Villa, expect them to do the same against Tromso.
Make the second leg of the Bet Builder that Giorginio Rutter scores at anytime. He is leading the line and unloaded three efforts in Norway, one of which was on target. He had another couple of shots against Villa.
The Frenchman will get chances and it's well worth taking him to convert one.
Finally, there were 16 corners in the first leg in Tromso, so look at over 10 being taken in the return.
