Borac BB vs Austria Vienna Prediction and Betting Tips
Borac BB host Austria Vienna at the Gradski stadion Banja Luka in the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round on Thursday (August 3).
The visitors hold a narrow lead in the tie following a 1-0 home win in the first leg in Austria last week. Haris Tabakovic scored a last-gasp winner in the fourth minute of injury time after having a goal disallowed in the seventh minute.
The Austrian side followed up their continental win with a harrowing 3-0 home defeat to Sturm Graz in their Austrian Bundesliga opener. Jusuf Gazibegovic, Szymon Wlodarczyk and David Affengruber scored for Sturm.
Borac booked their spot in the Conference League qualifiers with a runner-up finish in the Bosnian Primeja liga last season. Vienna, meanwhile, won the Austrian Bundesliga Conference League playoffs to book their spot at this stage.
The winner of this tie face either Ordabasy or Legia Warsaw in the third qualifying round.

Borac BB vs Austria Vienna Prediction
Vienna needed a dramatic injury-time winner to take the lead in the tie, which gives them something to protect.
