Slovan Bratislava – Zrinjski : Preview & Prediction
Slovan Bratislava pulled off the perfect coup, winning the first leg 0-1 thanks to a 53rd-minute Zuberu strike despite Zrinjski’s dominance. Last August, this Slovak team eliminated the Bosnian-Herzegovinian club in the Europa League Conference play-off final, with a decisive victory in the return leg at Bratislava’s Tehelné pole. Same scenario? The team-mates of Vladimir Weiss, scorer of 3 goals in his last 2 appearances, have not conceded a goal in 3 matches and are on a fine run of 8 matches without defeat, including 3 well-controlled matches at Hesperange (0-2) and Zrinjski (0-1) in the C1 and at Kosice (0-0) on July 29. Zrinjski struggled to eliminate Urartu in the previous round, and had to go to penalties to secure their precious ticket after two closely-fought encounters. Bilbija’s team-mates, who have lost 3 of their last 8 outings in all competitions, are not favourites for the return leg in Bratislava.
