The Battle of Champions: Buducnost Podgorica Faces Atletic Club d’Escaldes in Champions League Qualifier
Key Stats
– Goal Machine: Atletic’s Guillaume Lopez bagged 15 goals in their title-winning campaign, providing a vital threat in the upcoming clash.
– Defensive Giants: Buducnost’s solid defense, demonstrated in their latest First League triumph, could be the game-changer in this preliminary qualifier.
The 2023-24 UEFA Champions League season comes alive with the preliminary round of qualifying, starting off with a thrilling contest between Andorra’s Atletic Club d’Escaldes and Montenegro’s Buducnost Podgorica. The match-up, part of a four-team playoff, is set to unfold at the Kopavogsvollur Stadium in Iceland.
A Clash of Champions
Andorra’s top-tier team, Atletic d’Escaldes, conquered the Primera Divisio last season, securing their position just four years after a triumphant rise from the Segona Divisio. A mere two-point lead over local rivals Inter d’Escalde granted them the championship title. With six victories in their last eight league games, the side helmed by former Barcelona youth-player and Swansea City left-back Fede Bessone has displayed their mettle on the local stage. However, a new, more formidable challenge awaits them in Europe.

In contrast, Buducnost Podgorica from Montenegro has marked their territory in UEFA competitions, appearing for their third Champions League journey in just four years. Having garnered six national titles, Buducnost is regarded as Montenegro’s top club in terms of continental qualification. Their achievement in outperforming previous First League champions, Sutjeska, last term, albeit only by virtue of a superior head-to-head record, speaks volumes of their fierce determination and capability.
Form and Strategy
Atletic’s strategy is anticipated to lean heavily on their top scorer, Guillaume Lopez. The French forward, who led their title-winning campaign with 15 league goals, will be the focal point of their offensive tactics. Providing support will be Alex Martinez, an Andorra international and beach football player, whose recent international performance could bring the added edge.
On the other hand, Buducnost, under the guidance of coach Miodrag Dzudovic, has adopted a more balanced approach in their attack. Their leading scorer, Zoran Petrovic, was instrumental in their latest First League triumph, netting seven goals in the process. Further stability is lent by goalkeeper Milos Dragojevic and defender Marko Simic, both Montenegro’s national team players.
Match Prediction: Buducnost Podgorica to Win
Given their track record, Buducnost’s wealth of experience in UEFA competitions might grant them an edge over their relatively green opponents. Their capability to maintain a strong defensive line, as demonstrated by their performance against Sutjeska, could stifle Atletic’s offense, potentially leading to a win for Buducnost without conceding a goal.
Our prediction leans towards a 2-0 victory for Buducnost Podgorica in the correct score market. This forecast not only appreciates Buducnost’s solid defence but also acknowledges their balanced offensive strategy, which could penetrate Atletic’s defence twice without reply.
