Osijek are hosting the second qualifier group of the League of European champions, with Belarus, Belgium and Macedonia champions in the group. Their match against the Macedonian champions, Dragon 2014, is the first match of the group. Osijek want to win the group and go to the top 32 teams of the League. They did it twice already. It won't be easy, but it's not impossible, the team is getting better with each season. And their roster is almost the same as it was the last season. Osijek played a few practice matches, beating the Hungarian vice-champion MTK 2-1, Vojvodina 5-0, and they lost to Spartak Subotica 0-2 and another that ended in a tie, 3-3.
Dragon were formed only two years ago, and they lost all three qualifier matches in this League last year, allowing 18 goals in the process, and not scoring a single one themselves. They're young, and now their roster has changed quite a bit, too. They played two practice matches at the beginning of the month, and lost to Kosovo champion in Skopje, Hajvalia 0-4 (0-3 in the first half already), and to Crvena Zvezda in Srbia 2-5. Zvezda used a mixed lineup because they had to play the first match of the Serbian championship the day later.
Since only the first-placed team will go to the top 32 teams of the League, and three teams are about as good (Osijek, Minsk, Standard), the goal-difference could decide in the final placement, so all the teams will use Dragon to increase their goal-difference. Both options are good, half-time handicap and the final handicap (-4.5), since Osijek will take it seriously from the beginning. Considering Dragon's results from the last year's qualifiers, the handicap after the first 45 minutes has a bit bigger value.
