Petrocub – the shape of the team and its analysis:
Last season, "The Black and Whites" dethroned Sheriff and became champions for the first time in their relatively short history. They also won the Moldovan Cup, but not for the first time.
This young team made their debut in the Champions League and performed admirably. Their goal was not to be eliminated immediately, and they succeeded, scoring the only goal over 180+ minutes against Ordabasy. However, they couldn't handle APOEL, despite a valiant effort: 0-1 away, 1-1 in Chișinău, where they even opened the scoring.
The New Saints – the shape of the team and its analysis:
TNS dominates the Welsh football scene, though it's important to remember that serious clubs like Swansea and Cardiff play in the English league system.
The "Saints" considered it a success to pass the first qualification round, which doesn't always happen. They convincingly defeated Dečić 3-0 at home before drawing in Montenegro. However, Ferencváros proved too strong, winning 5-0 in Bucharest and 2-1 in Cardiff.
