In the Europa League first qualifying round second leg, KF Llapi will face Wisla Krakow at Stadiumi i Qytetit.

Form and Recent Performance
KF Llapi
KF Llapi needs a three-goal victory to progress, a challenging task considering their historical performance in European competitions.
They have not progressed beyond the first round in their previous two attempts and are yet to secure a victory in European matches.
