Hibernians will be trying to avoid another heavy defeat in today’s second leg of their tie against Dinamo Bucharest in the Romanian capital.

The Paolites suffered a 4-0 defeat at Ta’ Qali a fortnight ago and, like Sliema, have no hope whatever of overturning the result.

Their main challenge is that of trying to avoid another heavy defeat, but even here, it will be difficult as Robert Gatt is missing some regular players.

Andrew Cohen, Peter Pullicino, Kenneth Spiteri, Adrian Pulis, Jonathan Caruana and Jonathan Pearson are all missing from the squad.
