Zrinjski and FC Utrecht measure forces at Stadion Bijeli Brijeg, in a second leg for this phase of the UEFA Europa League (2nd Qualifying Round), after a tie for (1‑1) in the first leg. 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 in advantage, after the draw away by (1‑1) in the first leg, so a draw may be enough to get the qualification. This is a stronger team with the support of his fans, since in the last 30 games he has 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses as a visitor; against 9 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in his stadium. In his last 10 home games Zrinjski records 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. His attack has scored regularly, as he scored goals in 8 of the last 10 games. In their home matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 10 of their last 21 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 15 in 21 have ended with Under 2,5 goals.
Acting at home, Zrinjski Mostar’s team knows that he needs a good result, so he will have to show quality football to achieve his goal in the match. It is expected that Zrinjski Mostar’s team can have a great attitude in the field, attacking and defending intelligently. The coach must come into play with the best players on his team, because he knows the importance of achieving a good result.
FC Utrecht:
The away team comes to this second leg at a disadvantage, because despite the draw in the first leg they suffered 1 goal at home. This is a team that curiously has been stronger outside than at home, since in the last 30 games it records 8 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses as a visitor; against 6 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses in his stadium. In the last 10 games played as a visitor for all competitions, FC Utrecht won 6 and lost 4. Their attack has scored regularly, as they scored goals in 8 of the last 10 games. In 15 games, he suffered the first goal 5 times, but got the comeback in 2.
The Utrecht team has the mission of looking for a good result away from home, but knows that to do so you will have to show something else within the four lines. Even playing away from their fans, we expect a bold visiting team and they will seek to create their offensive movements, since they know the importance of scoring goals in their rival’s house. The coach must present in the field a very competitive team that will fight for a positive result.
