After claiming a 2-1 victory over Dinamo Tbilisi in the previous leg, Ħamrun Spartans head to the Georgian capital, aiming to complete an upset and advance in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers. Zoran Marušić put Dinamo Tbilisi ahead in Ta’ Qali, but a late brace from Joseph Mbong turned the tables, securing a famous victory for the Maltese champions.
Ħamrun Spartans have experienced mixed results in their European ventures, winning only three of their last 12 ties. However, their performance improved last season as they reached the Europa Conference League play-off round. Despite their past struggles, progressing in this tie would be a significant upset for the Spartans.
On the other hand, Dinamo Tbilisi has endured a rough patch in European competitions, losing their last five ties. Giorgi Tchiabrishvili’s team will be eager to break that streak and turn the tables in their favor at the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena.
The stakes are high, as the winners of this clash will face off against either Ferencváros or Shamrock Rovers in the UEFA Europa Conference League third qualifying round.
With both teams determined to advance, the stage is set in the Georgian capital.
Can Ħamrun Spartans hold their own against an out-of-form Dinamo Tbilisi side and complete the upset?
