Valletta vs Zrinjski Mostar Match Preview

Valletta have dropped out of the Champions League Qualifiers on an away goal in a 1-1 aggregate draw against Kukesi, now travelling to Mostar for their Europa League clash against Zrinjski in the hope they can build on their lengthy unbeaten streak.

They boast very solid records on the road and have earned six wins and two draws in eight trips this year, which will have them confident at Stadion Bijeli Brijeg too.

Zrinjski saw a similarly narrow Champions League Qualifiers exit, as they suffered a 1-0 loss at Spartak Trnava and held the rivals to a 1-1 draw in front of the home crowd.

They’ve lost on their consistency through the pre-season and this possibly proved costly for Ante Mise’s men, as the Bosnians now look to bounce back quickly and impress on the day.

Plemici haven’t suffered a home loss since January, though, and we’ve seen six wins and four draws in ten outings across competitions. Somehow they cannot boast of a similar record on the road and Valletta have the experience of negating tricky fixtures at their own backyard.
