FC St. Coloma will welcome Penybont to Estadi Comunal for the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying tie on Thursday.
The two sides could not be separated in a 1-1 draw in the first leg last week. Mario Mourelo opened the scoring for Coloma in the 36th minute, while Chris Venables leveled matters midway through the second half.
St. Coloma booked their spot in this stage of the qualifiers courtesy of their third-placed finish in the Andorran Primera Divisio last season. Penybont also finished third in the Welsh Cymru Premier to secure European participation for the first time in their history. The winner of this tie will face either Sutjeska Niksic or Cosmos in the second round of the qualifiers.
