Latvian team Auda will host Romanian outfit FCSB in Riga for the second leg of their Conference League qualifying match on Thursday. Auda holds a slight edge going into this fixture after securing a 3-2 win in Romania last week. This marks Auda's fourth consecutive season participating in the Conference League qualifiers, following their triumph in the Latvian Football Cup last season. Their strongest showing in these qualifiers came during the 2024-25 season, where they progressed through two rounds before losing to Drita in the third qualifying round. As they enter the second round this time, Auda is aware that they must successfully navigate three ties to reach the main draw of a European competition for the first time ever. They kicked off their European journey positively, taking the lead three times to clinch a vital 3-2 victory in the away leg against FCSB last Thursday. Kader Kone scored a thrilling winner in the fourth minute of stoppage time, giving Auda a slim lead ahead of the return leg, where they only need to avoid defeat to advance to the third round against either Aluminij or Dinamo City. Under Jurgis Kalns, Auda has been resilient at home, remaining unbeaten in five of their last six competitive matches, including a 1-0 victory against BFC Daugavpils in their most recent league game. FCSB boasts a rich history in European competitions, particularly due to their achievements in the late 1980s when they won the European Cup in 1986 and were runners-up to AC Milan three years later.
