Match-fit Tromsø host Hradec Králové in the Arctic, where home advantage and superior sharpness should see the Norwegians avoid defeat.
Tromsø have the conditions in their favour for this first leg. The Norwegian side are deep into their Eliteserien season and match fit, while Czech visitors Hradec Králové are still finding rhythm after their summer break. Playing at home in the far north, with the travel and unfamiliar surroundings a genuine obstacle for the visitors, Tromsø will look to establish an aggregate lead before the return in Czechia. Neither side carries elite European pedigree, which makes this one of the more evenly matched ties of the round, but home advantage and superior sharpness tilt it towards the hosts. Hradec Králové are organised and will aim to stay compact and nick an away goal, so a blowout is unlikely. Tromsø should shade a tight contest or at worst avoid defeat, making the double chance the sensible play. Expect a controlled, low-tempo first leg with the tie still open for the second leg.

Tromsø are favoured thanks to home advantage and mid-season fitness, though Hradec Králové are organised enough to make it tight.
There is a strong case. Both sides are cautious first-leg operators, so a low-scoring game is likely.
Double Chance on Tromsø or the draw at around 1.50 is the smart pick, backing the sharper, home side without overcommitting.
