Zrinjski welcome Urartu to Mostar for the second leg of the UEFA Champions league first qualifying round on Tuesday (July 18).
The hosts hold the advantage in the tie, having claimed a 1-0 victory in the first leg in Armenia last week. Matej Senic's 89th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two teams.
Both sides had a full week to prepare for the second leg, having not begun their new domestic season. The winner of this tie will face either Sheriff Tiraspol or Farul Constanta in the second qualifying round.
Zrinjski were the favorites to progress when this tie was drawn, and their away victory in the first leg boosts their chances of progression. Nevertheless, the tie is still in the balance, and the Bosnian champions will seek to score an early goal to give themselves a more comfortable cushion.
They tend to be potent in front of goal at home, and this goalscoring threat bodes well for their qualification chances. Uruartu, meanwhile, have it all to play for. Their positive record on their travels could be a source of inspiration, having lost just one of their last nine away games, winning six.
However, Zrinjski are unlikely to capitulate in front of their fans and should claim a comfortable win in a high-scoring game.
Prediction: Zrinjski 3-1 Urartu
Tip 1 - Zrinjski to win
Tip 2 - Both teams to score
Tip 3 - Over 2.5 goals
Tip 4 - Zrinjski to score over 1.5 goals
