Announcement of return matches of the first qualifying round of the Conference League.
The first qualifying round of the Conference League is sixty teams divided into thirty game pairings. There are two matches in each confrontation. The winners of the pairs will advance to the second qualifying round of the Conference League (main path), the losers will say goodbye to the European Cups.
The first matches took place a week ago. The base day for the matches in the return is the fourteenth of July. One match took place earlier.
At this stage of the tournament, Ukraine's competitors are not represented in the Odds Table, but there are ten teams that are higher than Vorskla and Dnipro-1 in the club rating (the third UPL team will move to the Conference League if they lose in the League playoff round Europe). For the prospects of our clubs, it is better if as many high-ranking clubs as possible are relegated in the qualifiers. Of the ten teams we are interested in (highlighted in bold below), three did not win their first matches: "Dynamo" (Tbilisi), "Fola Ash" and "Olympia". Three more teams won only minimal victories - DAK, Alashkert and Flora. Four high-ranked representatives of the first qualifying round of the Conference League won convincing victories (with a difference of two goals) in their first matches.
- "Ararat" (Armenia) 18:00 "Shkendia» (North Macedonia) (first match - 0:2);
- SIK (Finland) 19:00 «Flora» (Estonia) (first match - 0:1);
