UEFA Throws Down the Gauntlet: Budućnost, Dečić, and Sutjeska Face Tough Potential Rivals!
UEFA has finally released the list of potential opponents for Montenegrin clubs Budućnost, Dečić, and Sutjeska in the third qualifying round of the Conference League. Budućnost is in a privileged pot, but that doesn’t guarantee an easy ride. If they eliminate Moldovan Milsami, they could face Belarusian Dinamo Minsk, Albanian Egnatia, or Virtus from San Marino, who had a bye in the second round.
Dečić, also in a privileged pot, if they beat Rapid Vienna, could face the winner of the ties between Viking and Koper, Dundee United and Strasbourg, Anderlecht and Häcken, or AIK and Paide/Kosice. So, no easy opponents here either.
Sutjeska, not in a privileged pot, faces perhaps the toughest challenge. The Nikšić team will meet Israeli Beitar Jerusalem, and if they pull off an upset, even tougher opponents await in the third round: winners of Aktobe-Parta Prague, Omonia-Torpedo Kutaisi, Zimbru-Astana, Riga-Dila Gori, or Hibernians-Spartak Trnava.
The draw in Nyon kicks off at 2 PM, and everyone is eagerly waiting to see who will stand in the way of Montenegrin clubs.
This is not just a sports story; it’s a test for Montenegrin football! Will our clubs manage to overcome these challenges or get knocked out early? Budućnost, Dečić, and Sutjeska are under huge pressure, and fans are already trembling with excitement and anxiety.
