Slovan Bratislava vs Zrinjski Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - July 30, 2023

Slovan Bratislava vs Zrinjski Mostar
UEFA Champions League Qualification
Date: 1 August 2023, Tuesday
Kick-off at 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
Venue: Stadion Tehelne pole (Bratislava).

Sharani Zuberu made all the difference between Zrinjski and Slovan in the first leg of their Champions League second qualifying round tie played seven days ago in Mostar.

Zuberu’s header eight minutes into the second half brought the Slovakians a big advantage ahead of the reverse outing in front of their fans, scheduled for this Tuesday evening at Stadion Tehelne pole.

Slovan looked very difficult to break down last week. They have now conceded only one goal in three Champions League qualifiers this summer.

Nevertheless, this tie is still wide open. Zrinjski have already proved to have what it takes to get results on travels in Europe in past years, as well as this summer if you want.

The Bosnian champions claimed a 0-1 win over Urartu in the first leg of the opening qualifying round before losing the return match 1-2.

The main problem for head coach Krunoslav Rendulic, though, lies in the final third. He had to leave his talismanic striker Nemanja Bilbija (the top scorer of the Bosnian Premijer Liga last year) on the bench through injury seven days ago.

Bilbija’s physical condition is allegedly better ahead of the second leg and we will likely see a more dangerous Zrinjski Mostar side on Tuesday.

Slovan Bratislava vs Zrinjski Head-to-head

• Slovan now lead the overall H2H tie by one win going into the sixth meeting with Zrinjski Mostar.
• Interestingly, three of the last five H2H matches between these counterparts ended in a 1-0 scoreline.
• Zrinjski Mostar scored only three goals in five previous outings against Slovan Bratislava.

Slovan Bratislava vs Zrinjski Prediction

This should be another tight affair between two very solid teams (in defense in particular) which makes the Under 2.5 goals FT a standout betting option at the odds of 1.57.

We will alternatively back the visitors not to lose at the 1.83 odds, while the braver punters can chase the away win at the sky-high 4.00 odds.
