The history of the two teams

Universitat Craiova qualified directly into the second qualifying round of the Division League from third place in the Super League last season, while Maribor ended up facing Oltenia after being eliminated in the first qualifying round of the Europa League.

The Slovenian runner-up lost to Bulgaria’s Botev Plovdiv in a two-legged tie, 2-1 in the first leg and 2-2 in the second.

We have a two-goal advantage but the story is not over yet. We are a team that knows what it wants. A team that wants to improve.
The opponent has quality and will do everything to destroy us, but I think we will respond accordingly on the field. We knew them well in the first leg and we knew that despite the good start, we had to maintain a high level.
Ante Simundza, NK Maribor coach
