Zrinjski face a mountainous task in overturning their first-leg defeat when they travel to take on Utrecht in the Europa League playoff second leg on Thursday. Can the Nobles pull off an upset against the Cathedral citizens to qualify for the Europa League main phase? Here is our prediction for the match.
Utrecht are set for their third appearance in the Europa League following their comfortable 2-0 victory in the first leg versus Zrinjski. David Min’s penalty goal and Victor Jensen’s 85th-minute strike saw the Dutch side run out with a deserved win in Mostar.
This was followed by a 4-1 thrashing of Excelsior in the Eredivisie on Sunday, marking their seventh win in eight matches. They have also won all five of their Europa League qualifying matches this season, all of which ended with over 1.5 goals.
Zrinjski are on the brink of missing out on what would have been their first appearance in the Europa League’s main phase following the 2-0 first-leg loss against Utrecht in Mostar. They also lost 2-0 against Zeljeznicar in the Bosnian league at the weekend, marking their third defeat in seven matches (W1, D3).
Igor Štimac’s men face a tall order in getting a result against in-form Utrecht on Thursday. Meanwhile, most of their recent matches have ended with over 1.5 goals.
