Dudelange vs KF Tirana – In the Champions League, F91 Dudelange will host KF Tirana in Luxembourg on Wednesday night for the opening leg of their first qualifying round matchup.
Tirana won their 26th Albanian league title last season, while the hosts are reigning Luxembourg champions. Last season, Dudelange won the Luxembourg National Division and qualified for the first qualifying round of the Champions League with 67 points from 30 games.
In both the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons, Carlos Fangueiro’s team competed in the Europa League group stage, where they finished fourth each time.

Dudelange vs KF Tirana – Betting Analysis
Dudelange has played in the Champions League 38 times, losing 24 times, which gives a sense of the challenge they face in this two-legged match. In the second qualifying round, Fangueiro’s club would face either Pyunik or CFR Cluj if they were to win their first-leg match against the visitors.
There is no disputing that Tirana are the most successful team in Albania when it comes to league championships, winning their 26th title last season.
A three-time European Cup round-of-16 appearance by Tirona, Albania’s most successful European team, dates back to the 1980s. Last season, Orges Shehi’s side lost to Red Star Belgrade in the second qualifying round of the Champions League, and they also lost to Young Boys in the playoffs of the Europa League.
After 41 Champions League appearances, Tirana have suffered a total of 29 defeats, making them the underdogs for this year’s group stage. A preseason friendly versus Fenerbahce on June 25 ended in a 4-0 defeat for the visitors, who had last played on that date.
