Match preview
Will the champions of Slovenia or Finland get their European campaign back on track at Stadion Ljudski vrt?
So far this season, Maribor have overcome Shakhtyor Soligorsk in Champions League qualifying, before narrowly falling to FC Sheriff.
To date, the Purples have qualified for six UEFA group stages, falling in qualifying four times since their last in 2017.
In this evenly-matched tie, will Maribor make first leg home advantage count?
HJK meantime, just about, beat RFS on penalties before being hammered 7-1 by Viktoria Plzeň over two legs.
The 31-times champions of Finland featured in the Europa Conference League last season, ending their seven-year exile from group stages.
So, Helsingin Jalkapalloklubi are equally determined that their adventure won’t end in the qualifiers.
There’s unlikely to be too many goals in this tie, so will either draw first blood at Slovenia?
