Mornar Bar welcome Dinamo Tbilisi to DG Arena for the first leg of their UEFA Conference League round one qualification tie on Thursday (July 11th). The home side are coming off a goalless draw against OFK Beograd in a friendly last week.
Their last competitive game resulted in a 1-0 home win over Jezero in their final game of the Montenegrin Prva Crnogorska Liga in May. Aleksandar Vujacic scored the match-winner from the spot in injury time.
Tbilisi, meanwhile, suffered a 2-1 defeat to Torpedo Kutaisi in the Georgian Super Cup final. Eliton Junior and Nikola Ninkovic scored in either half to put Kutaisi two goals up while Nikoloz Tsetskhladze halved the deficit in the 85th minute.
The Blue-White booked their spot at this stage of the Conference League courtesy of their runners-up finish in the Goergian league last term. Mornar qualified as runners-up in the Montenegrin league.
The winner of this tie will face Radnicki 1923 in the second round of the qualifiers.

Mornar vs Dinamo Tbilisi Prediction
Mornar are European debutants and will give their all in their first taste of a European night. Zoran Đurašković's side have nothing to lose but their lack of nous could be detrimental against a side who are seasoned campaigners at this stage.
Dinamo Tbiliti might not be the biggest side in UEFA club competitions but the Georgians have vast experience at this stage. They will be looking to bounce back from their defeat last week.
Although one side could nick a win, we are backing the home side to share the spoils in a low-scoring stalemate.
