Match Preview

It’s set to be an intriguing Europa Conference League Qualification second leg clash as Luxembourg’s UNA Strassen welcome Scotland’s Dundee United. The tie will be decided at Stade Municipal de Differdange, with action kicking off at 18:00 local time on Thursday, July 31, 2025. Dundee United comes into this fixture with a slender advantage from the first leg, having defeated UNA Strassen 1-0 at Tannadice Park a week prior, thanks to a decisive strike from Zachary Sapsford.

UNA Strassen, making waves with their European ambitions, will be eager to turn things around on home soil. However, recent form doesn’t make pleasant reading for the hosts: they have not scored in their last three European outings, including both legs against Finnish side KuPS in the previous round (0-5 away, 0-0 home). Their attack has struggled to find fluidity, making their task against a defensively organized Scottish team even tougher. Strassen’s goalless streak in continental competition highlights a worrying trend that their manager will desperately want to break in front of their fans.

Dundee United, for their part, approach this tie with growing confidence. Sapsford’s winner in Dundee was not only valuable but symbolic—the Scottish side found goals hard to come by in some domestic fixtures towards the end of last season but showed resilience in tight games. United’s build-up to this European campaign included a strong finish in the Scottish Premiership, notably with a 2-1 win over Aberdeen. However, their overall form has been patchy with losses to Rangers, St Mirren, Hibernian, and Celtic in May, indicating that while they have the edge, nothing can be taken for granted in Europe.

In terms of squad news, both teams are expected to field strong line-ups. There have been no widely-reported injuries or suspensions for either team ahead of the match, allowing both managers tactical flexibility. Dundee United will again look to leverage their experienced core, aiming to manage the tempo and frustrate the hosts, while UNA Strassen are expected to adopt a more adventurous approach as they chase the deficit, possibly switching to an attacking setup in the latter stages if needed.

Key Players

• UNA Strassen: The hosts look to Nicolas Perez for attacking impetus, with Bert Esselink anchoring the defense. Midfielder Krisztián Keresztes is another to watch, tasked with breaking down United’s midfield block.
• Dundee United: Zachary Sapsford is the main man, having netted the winner in the first leg. The creative spark comes from Kristijan Trapanovski, while Ryan Strain’s overlapping runs add width and energy. Goalkeeper Yevhenii Kucherenko could be crucial in keeping a clean sheet on foreign turf.

Prediction

Given Dundee United’s defensive solidity and their one-goal cushion, expect a disciplined, cautious approach from the Scots. UNA Strassen may enjoy periods of pressure, aided by home support, but their struggles in front of goal are likely to continue unless they can unlock a new gear offensively. Dundee United’s ability to hit on the counter could see them increase their aggregate lead. Predicted outcome: a draw or a narrow win for Dundee United, who should advance to the next round with a clean sheet a real possibility.
