Teuta Durres:
Teuta celebrating its centenary this year, although chances are you've never heard of this club from Albania. After all, the league is not highly regarded Albania, and with only one league titles and four national cups, blue and white do not exactly have an impressive trophy cabinet.
However, Teuta good course of this year. The club won the trophy last season's tournament by beating Albania powerhouse local Tirana 2-0 in the final. Sheriff Star player Kallaku see a strong season was crowned with the transfer to Lokomotiv Zagreb Croatia, but even without the midfielder Teuta successfully manage well. The team has won the Supercup this season with Albania Tirana beat again with 1-2 and won 2-0 in the preliminary round before the Europa League is much stronger against Beitar Jerusalem of Israel. Rubin attacker Hebaj good for three goals in two duel and therefore definitely someone to watch.
Granada:
Granada has had absolute top season, finishing in seventh place in LaLiga tough. As a reward, the Spaniards are now allowed to enter Europe for the first time in club history. People from coach Diego Martinez naturally want to enjoy this European adventure as long as possible, and therefore have set their sights on reaching the Europa League main tournament.
Granada immediately start the new season with a good last weekend by winning a tough home game against Athletic Bilbao 2-0 in the first round of La Liga. The Andalusia is well done, with Angel Montoro, Yangel Herrera and Luis Milla as a big star. It remains to be seen whether they will kick-off on Thursday night, because with three games in a week there is a chance that Martinez will rotate slightly. As a sub-top Spain, Granada, however, owes to stand up to qualify for the next round.
Teuta Durres vs Granada: Predictions
Diego Martinez's men secured a ticket to the qualifying competition after overcoming challenges to the likes of Valencia, Athletic Bilbao, Getafe, Real Betis etc.
These teams can be considered contenders to lift the Europa League if they were in a contest, and understand that Nasrids finished above them in the table to get here.
Last season, they were even beaten the likes of Barcelona, arguably one of the best clubs in the world - and for them, a game against Albania is not even possible that a big problem.
However, it was football. Martinez man knows that each team may have a puncher's chance in any clash, and for that reason, they will not take lightly.
It is also worth mentioning that Nasrids has lost only against Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Sevilla and Bilbao, so far this year on the road. And they have opened their new league campaign with an impressive win against Bilbao nil, only the last one-day match.
In addition, they have worked very hard to get a chance like that, and we can rely on a team of La Liga to give their 100% on the pitch on Thursday and advance to the next round.
