How the two sides approach the contest strategically will be key. FC Wohlen will want to control proceedings in front of their own supporters, while Buochs will back themselves to cause problems on the break. There is interest in adding another forward player who can play in one of those wide No 10 roles behind the striker in the 3-4-2-1 formation that Sage is expected to continue with at Selhurst Park.

Individual moments of quality could tip the balance. Both sides possess players capable of producing something out of nothing, and a single flash of brilliance may be all that separates them. Discipline at the back and sharpness in front of goal will likely tilt the balance one way or the other. Despite these links, United will not be parting ways with the Slovenian striker.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. Neither side holds a clear edge, and a 2-2 draw would be a fitting reflection of the balance between them. Whatever the outcome, the 1.
