- Competition: Champions League qualifications
- Date: Tuesday, 15th July 2025
- Kickoff: 18:00 UK / 19:00 CEST
- Venue: Complexul Sportiv Raional (Orhei)
It is only the first round of the Champions League qualifications, but it will be the last for Moldavian Milsami or Finnish KuPS. In the first leg of the matchup, KuPS won 1-0 in Kuopio and will have the slight advantage ahead of the rematch in Orhei. The Finnish side was better, but they surely expected to score at least one more goal in the first leg.
Milsami are hardly a better side than Sheriff, but last season they lifted their second league title in Moldova. The new season for Milsami started a few weeks ago, and Igor Picusceac's team has already won six points in three league matches.
KuPS won their fifth Veikkausliiga title last year. This season, they are even with the league leader, Inter Turku, but with two more matches played. KuPS have been on an impressive run lately, with five games without defeat. Jarkko Wiss' team has an advantage ahead of the Champions League qualifications rematch, but they will surely try to win the second game, too, as playing for a draw would be too dangerous.
Milsami vs KuPS pick: BTTS - Yes
Milsami scored in three of four matches this season. On the other hand, KuPS scored 12 goals in the previous four games. We should expect goals on both sides in the upcoming tie in Orhei.

Milsami team news
Milsami are far from a great team, but they certainly seem like a good attacking team. Their striker, Kabamba Kalabatama, came from Skeid in March and scored six solid goals in 13 league matches for Milsami. We should expect Milsami to score on Tuesday in Orheir against KuPS.
