Zrinjski and Malmö face in Stadion Pecara, in a second leg of this phase of the UEFA Europa League (3rd Qualifying Round), after in the first leg the Malmö have won at home by (3‑0). Particular attention is needed for the home / away condition, since both teams have significantly different results at home and abroad.
Zrinjski:
The home team comes to this second leg with a 3-goal disadvantage, in addition to the disadvantage of not having scored as a visitor in the first leg. This is a stronger team with the support of his fans, since in the last 30 games he has 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses as a visitor; against 10 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss in his stadium. In the last 10 games played at home for all competitions, Zrinjski won 9 and drew 1. His attack has scored regularly, as he scored goals in 4 of the last 5 games for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 11 of their last 23 matches ended with Under 1,5 goals and 17 in 23 ended with Under 2,5 goals.
The third qualifying round for the Europa League is where Zrinjski is and after a defeat in the first leg he may end up being eliminated. The team will need to win by four or more goals of difference and by playing at home they believe they still have a chance of recovering from defeat. However, we know that after the result of the first game this became almost unattainable, due to the technical difference between them. Of course, you will always fight throughout the game, so value a qualified football without making mistakes. In this match, the best players available will be on the field.
Malmö:
The away team comes to this second leg with an advantage of 3 goals, but suffered 0 goals at home in the first leg. This is a stronger team with the support of his fans, since in the last 30 games he has 6 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses as a visitor, with 20 goals scored and 16 suffered; against 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in his stadium, with 40 goals scored and 14 suffered. The team arrives at this match after a draw away with Häcken by (1‑1). In the last 10 games played as a visitor for all competitions, Malmö won 3 and drew 7. His attack has scored regularly, as he always scored at least one goal in the last 5 games for this competition. There is 1 period that stands out in the last 13 away matches for all competitions: he scored 5 of his 14 goals between minutes (46′ ‑ 60 ‘).
Very good, so we can rate the result that Malmö achieved in the third qualifying round of the Europa League. By winning 3-0 he got a good peace of mind for the return duel and this advantage was what he expected. Now the team can lose by two goals of difference and, of course, has any draw in their favor. However, it is a mistake to think that the visiting team will play for a draw, because they want to play well and increase their advantage. If he presents a well-organized defense and an efficient attack, he can win another victory and calmly reach the next phase. In this match, the best players available will be on the field.
