The North Macedonian outfit narrowly saw off Lincoln Red Imps in round one of the qualifiers and will look to keep their run going.

Zagreb kicked off their 2022-23 HNL campaign with a bang, recovering from two goals down to claim a 3-2 win over Lokomotiva Zagreb last Friday.
Before that, Ante Cacic’s men clinched the Croatian Super Cup on July 9, seeing off Hajduk Split on penalties. Zagreb are now unbeaten in their last 12 outings across competitions, claiming nine wins and two draws.
Meanwhile, despite falling to a 2-0 loss against Lincoln Red Imps in the second leg of Champions League qualifying, a 3-0 victory in the reverse leg saw Shkupi progress to the second round.
However, they have won just once in their last four outings across competitions, losing twice and claiming a draw. Shkupi head into Wednesday winless in their last four away games, stretching back to a 1-0 victory at FK Pelister Bitola in April.
