Auda will play host to B36 at Stadions Skonto in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers on Thursday. The hosts are returning for the second time while the visitors are hoping to improve their record in the competition.
Auda finished third in the Latvian topflight, Virslīga, last season to qualify for the UEFA Conference League. It was their best record in the domestic league so far. However, they scored just 58 points, 30 points lower than second-placed Riga and 31 lower than champions, RFS.
Auda are returning to the Conference League following their debut last season after winning the Latvian Cup in 2022. They entered the competition in the second qualifying round but were knocked out by Slovakian side Spartak Trnava 5-2 on aggregate. This time they will begin their campaign in the first qualifying round.
B36 finished fourth in the Faroe Islands Premier League last season to secure a slot in the Conference League first qualifying round. They didn’t have a great campaign but were able to maintain their position on the table from the previous season. B36 are ambitious as ever and are hoping to improve on their European record in this campaign.
White Tigers have been playing in Europe since 1992-93, and have participated in UEFA top competitions including the Champions League and the Europa League. They reached the Europa Conference League third qualifying round last season, losing to Croatian side Rijeka, home and away, 5-1 on aggregate.
