Egnatia welcome Borac BB to Elbasan Arena for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League first round qualification tie on Wednesday. The visitors hold a narrow advantage in the tie, having claimed a 1-0 home win in the first leg in Bosnia last week.
Egnatia were reduced to 10 men in the 58th minute following Arbin Zejnullai's red card. Damir Hrelja scored the match-winner for Borac deep into injury time and their visitors ended the game with nine men after Edison Ndreca was also sent off late in stoppage time for two bookable offenses.
Edlir Tetova's side secured their spot at this stage of the Champions League qualifiers courtesy of their status as Albanian Kategoria Superiore champions. Borac are here as Premier League BH champions.
The winner of this tie will face PAOK in the second round of the qualifiers while the losers drop to the UEFA Conference League.

Egnatia vs Borac BB Prediction
Egnatia were roundly outplayed in their maiden game in this competition, conceding 15 shots at goal as opposed to the two they attempted. They will attempt to overturn this deficit in front of their fans, albeit by having to show marked improvements in their all-round game.
Borac, for their part, are positioned to win a tie in the Champions League for the first time in their history. They would have been disappointed not to have ended the first leg with a more comfortable win having dominated proceedings from start to finish as well as having a numerical advantage.
We are backing the two sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring stalemate.
