The second leg of this UEFA Conference League 2026/27 Playoffs tie arrives with everything still to play for. The first leg at Drita’s ground ended 2-2, meaning Inter Escaldes now host the Kosovan side at the Estadi de la FAF in Andorra with the aggregate level. The Andorran outfit has a slight edge in the bookmakers’ eyes as the home side, but Drita’s recent form makes this anything but a formality. Midfielder Domingo Berlanga Ouggouti has been Inter Escaldes’ standout creative force with three goals in four appearances, while Drita’s Blerim Krasniqi has matched that output from midfield and will be equally dangerous in the final third.
A hot stat worth flagging: Drita scored 14 goals across their last five matches, compared to Inter Escaldes’ 10. The Kosovan club’s attack has been relentless, and that firepower does not disappear just because they are playing away from home.

Inter Escaldes vs Drita Prediction
Both teams drew 2-2 in the first leg, and the pattern of that game tells us a lot. Neither side is content to sit back, and both have goalscorers spread across the squad rather than relying on a single striker. With the tie finely balanced and Inter Escaldes needing at least a draw to force extra time, we expect an open match with chances at both ends.
We predict Both Teams to Score as the strongest single-market bet here. Inter Escaldes have scored in four of their last five games, and Drita have found the net in every one of their last five. The first leg confirmed neither defence can fully contain the other’s attack over ninety minutes.
Inter Escaldes tend to sit in a 4-2-3-1, using the double pivot to protect the backline. Drita press higher in their 4-3-3 shape, which creates space on the transition. That stylistic clash, combined with both teams accumulating 15 yellow cards each across their last five games, points to a physical, scrappy contest where set-pieces and free kicks will matter. Drita’s 68 total shots in five games against Inter Escaldes’ 42 suggests the Kosovan side will generate more volume, making corners and wide play a key battleground. We also lean toward Over 2.5 goals given the first leg result and both teams’ recent scoring records.

Team Analysis
Inter Escaldes come into this second leg off the back of a mixed run. Over the past 30 days they collected two wins, two losses, and one draw for a 40% win rate. Their most recent outing was the 2-2 draw against Drita in the first leg. Before that, they beat Flora Tallinn 4-0 and 2-0 in the previous qualifying round, showing they can produce convincing performances at this level. The loss to Sabadell and a heavy 5-2 defeat to Andorra earlier in the period are the concern. Felip Ortiz’s side are capable of quality but inconsistency remains a theme.
Drita arrive in far better shape. Their last 30 days returned four wins and one draw from five matches, an 80% win rate. Ardijan Nuhiji’s team thumped Tre Fiori 5-0 and 4-1, beat KF Llapi 5-3, and defeated Floriana 2-1 before the first leg draw. The 2-2 against Inter Escaldes is their only dropped points in that stretch. That consistency, combined with their goal output, marks Drita as a side in genuine form heading into this decisive game.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Inter Escaldes the Favourite
- Moneyline Inter Escaldes 1.90 | Drita 3.55
- Draw 3.45
Inter Escaldes are priced as favourites on home advantage, and the bookmakers’ 47% win probability is reasonable given the context. The draw at 3.45 looks interesting since a draw in 90 minutes would send the tie to extra time, which is a genuine possibility. Drita at around 3.55 represents slight value given they have been the better-performing team over the last month, and their superior shot volume from the first leg is worth noting. The BTTS market at “Yes” is where the sharpest value sits, with both sides having consistent scoring records across all recent games.
Possible Starting Lineups
Inter Escaldes Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Javier Díaz
- DF: Jilmar Steed Torres Martínez, Alexandre Sanchez Rodriguez, Marc Rodríguez Gelabert
- MF: Pablo Molina Serafín, Domingo Berlanga Ouggouti, Víctor Alonso, Soule Sidibe
- FW: Faysal Chouaib Hassany, Maurizio Pochettino, Mamadou Lamine Diaby
Felip Ortiz is likely to stick with his 4-2-3-1 shape. Javier Díaz starts in goal as the only goalkeeper with recorded minutes. Domingo Berlanga Ouggouti is the player to watch, with three goals in four appearances from midfield. Faysal Chouaib Hassany leads the line and also carries three goals in this run. Maurizio Pochettino adds two assists from the forward positions, making that front trio the focal point of Inter Escaldes’ attacking play.
Drita Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Faton Maloku
- DF: Rron Broja, Besnik Krasniqi, Altin Bytyci, raddy ovouka hokemba
- MF: Blerim Krasniqi, Vesel Limaj, Kemelho Nguena
- FW: Jorgo Pellumbi, Arb Manaj, Igball Jashari
Ardijan Nuhiji’s 4-3-3 gives Drita width and pressing intensity. Faton Maloku has played 480 minutes across five games and is the clear first-choice keeper. Blerim Krasniqi is the key man in midfield with three goals, while Vesel Limaj and Igball Jashari each provide two assists from their roles. Besnik Krasniqi and raddy ovouka hokemba are defenders who contribute offensively, each with goals and assists respectively, which adds another dimension to Drita’s set-piece threat. Altin Bytyci’s three yellow cards in five games tells you how physically committed he is, and that aggression will test Inter Escaldes’ attackers throughout.

The Verdict
This is a tight tie. The aggregate is level, both teams scored twice in the first leg, and neither defence has been watertight in recent weeks. Inter Escaldes hold the home advantage and the bookmakers back them, but Drita’s form over the past 30 days is simply better. Four wins from five, 14 goals in five matches, and a squad with goals spread across multiple positions makes them a genuine threat on the road.
We predict Both Teams to Score and Over 2.5 goals as the primary bets. The first leg result, the recent scoring records, and the tactical contrast between Inter Escaldes’ structured 4-2-3-1 and Drita’s aggressive 4-3-3 all point toward an open, goal-heavy second leg. For the outright result, a draw in 90 minutes at 3.45 is worth a small stake given the stakes involved and how evenly matched these sides have proven to be.
