FC Santa Coloma v Penybont Prediction: 3/5 hosts to set the standard

FC Santa Coloma will aim to reach the second round of qualifying for the UEFA Conference League for the second season in a row when they take on Penybont on Thursday night.

The Andorran outfit claimed a vital victory in the first leg away from home after Guillaume Lopez opened the scoring in the 16th minute when his header went in off the post.

Penybont's new signing, Ryan Hill, missed the chance to draw his team level when he missed from the penalty spot in the 52nd minute and the visitors held on for a priceless victory.

FC Santa Coloma v Penybont

FC Santa Coloma v Penybont Prediction

Best Bet: FC Santa Coloma to win @ 3/5

FC Santa Coloma have experience on their side ahead of kick-off, having reached the second round of qualifying for the Conference League last season.

They beat Bosnia-Herzegovina's Borac Banja Luka 4-3 on aggregate, before then falling to a 5-3 aggregate defeat against Polissya Zhytomyr of Ukraine.

Penybont fell to a 4-1 aggregate defeat in the first round and there is a sense that they just don't have what it takes to compete on the same level as their hosts.

They could only finish sixth in last season's Cymru Premier, losing 13 of their 32 matches. Penybont have never progressed past the first round and the trip to Andorra should be too much to handle.

Alternative Bet: Over 2.5 goals @ 11/10

Penybont will not be used to travelling far due to their inexperience in Europe and there is every chance they come unstuck and are outclassed by FC Santa Coloma.

The Welsh outfit have lost six of their last nine matches away from home in all competitions, conceding two or more in five of those fixtures.

FC Santa Coloma have not been in action for several weeks domestically, but they ended last season in fine scoring form in front of goal, having scored two or more in eight of their last 10 home matches in all competitions.

The Andorran outfit did what they needed to do to avoid defeat last week, but on home soil, they should showcase their talents against a Penybont team that continues to prove they struggle away from home.

    5/2

A trip to Andorra is a daunting mission for a Penybont team that have never really had any experience of routine travel in European competition.

Their inability to keep teams at bay away from home means they should lose in the half-time/full-time market.

It is also tough to see them finding the back of the net.

Rhys Griffiths' side have failed to score in four of their last seven away matches and they struggled to break down FC Santa Coloma last week.
