The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 3-2 away victory over Sloboda in the Bosnian Liga BIH. They took the lead through Djordje Despotovic's third-minute strike while Filip Mekic equalized in the 19th minute. Despotovic completed his brace five minutes into the second half while David Cavic made it 3-1 just past the hour-mark after their hosts were reduced to 10 men. Aldin Hranovic pulled one back late on.
Omonia, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat away to Achnas in the Cypriot League. Pablo Gonzalez stepped off the bench midway through the second half and scored the match-winner within seconds of coming on.
The Shamrock will shift attention to the continent, where their last game saw them claim a 3-1 home win over Rapid Vienna. Borac suffered a 3-0 defeat away to Shamrock Rovers.
The loss left them in 21st spot in the Conference League table with six points to show for their efforts in five games. Borac are one spot and one point better off in the standings.
