Wisla will play host to Llapi at Henryk Reyman Stadium in UEFA Europa League qualifying on Thursday. Both teams will be facing off against each other for the very first time.
Wisla vs Llapi Preview
The hosts are returning to the European scene since their last appearance in 2011-12. Wisla did not have a great campaign last season. They finished 10th in the Polish I liga, but were able to earn a European slot after winning the Polish Cup – their fifth. They are among the 12 teams taking part in the first qualifying round.
Biała Gwiazda have played two friendlies in their preseason, defeating Hutnik Kraków 3-0 and losing against Puszcza Niepołomice 1-0. The hosts are hoping for a strong start to their fresh season following a dismal conclusion last term. They lost their last three league matches while conceding a total of 12 goals.
Llapi are making their debut in this competition, which they qualified for thanks to a second-place finish in the Kosovo Superleague last season. They wrapped up the 2023-24 campaign with a 4-0 away win against Liria Prizren. However, it was already too late to catch up with the leaders Ballkani – ahead by seven points.
Legjendat’s preseason has not been impressive thus far, with losses against Tikvesh (2-1) and Struga (2-0) in friendly matches. With the new season set for mid-August, they still have some time to fine tune. However, Llapi need to buckle up as they are set to face a more experienced side in European competitions.
