Match preview

218 matches will be played in this season's UEFA Champions League, culminating in the final in İstanbul on 10 June next year.

A whopping 354 days before that showpiece occasion at Atatürk Olimpiyat Stadı, qualifying kicks off with these preliminary round semi-finals.

San Marino's Campionato Sammarinese di Calcio is the lowest-ranked top-division in Europe, which is why their champions are involved here.

Last season, S.P. La Fiorita won their sixth league title, ending up a mere point clear of S.P. Tre Penne.

However, in Europe, this will be La Fiorita's 12th tie and, to date, their only victory came at this juncture against Lincoln Red Imps four years ago.

So, Juri Tamburini's team come into this one as big underdogs.

Although, opponents Inter Club d'Escaldes are far from European heavyweights in their own right.

They've now won three successive Primera Divisió titles, despite having never finished in the top two of the league before this.

So this is Inter's third season in Europe, with both of the previous two following the exact same pattern.

The Andorran side have lost in the Champions League preliminary round and then Europa/Europa Conference League second qualifying round.

12 months ago, Inter won a European match for the first time, beating Havnar Bóltfelag, before defeats to Prishtina and then Teuta Durrës.

This season, the winners of this tie will face Levadia Tallinn or Knattspyrnufélagið Víkingur in Reykjavík in the final on Friday.

The three sides who fall at this hurdle will drop into the Europa Conference League second qualifying round.

The winners will be rewarded with a two-legged tie against Malmö and a minimum of four more European fixtures in total.

Will the Andorran champions be too strong at Víkingsvöllur?
