Polissya vs Santa Coloma: Europa Conference League Prediction (25.07.2025)

On July 25, 2025, at 00:00 WIB, Polissya will face Santa Coloma in the quarterfinals of the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification. The Ukrainian side will be the nominal hosts, although the match will be played in the Slovak city of Prešov at the Tatran Stadium. Bookmakers consider the club from Zhytomyr the clear favorite. According to the odds, the chances of victory are estimated at 77% for Polissya and just 8% for Santa Coloma, with a 15% chance of a draw. Let’s assess the current form of both teams and offer our prediction.

Polissya

The Green and Yellows are making their second consecutive appearance in the Europa Conference League qualifiers. Last year, they failed to earn any coefficient points for Ukraine, being eliminated in the first round after two defeats to Slovenia’s Olimpija. This time, however, the draw has been more favorable, with Polissya facing a relatively weak opponent. Despite finishing only fourth in the Ukrainian Premier League last season, the Ukrainian and Andorran leagues differ significantly in level. It’s also worth noting that Polissya had a very active pre-season, playing seven friendlies against fairly strong opponents and only losing to Dunajská Streda.

Santa Coloma

Clubs from Andorra regularly participate in European qualifiers, but none have ever reached the group stage. Unsurprisingly, Santa Coloma is considered one of the biggest underdogs in this qualification campaign. The team isn’t even the best in their domestic league, finishing only third in the Andorran championship. However, they recently pulled off a major surprise. Starting from the first qualification round, they faced Borac Banja Luka. Despite being clear underdogs, Santa Coloma won the away leg 4:1, with some bookmakers offering odds higher than 20 for their victory. Although they lost the return leg 0:2, it was enough to advance on aggregate.
