Breidablik will host Zrinjski Mostar in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League third qualification round at Kópavogsvöllur on Thursday. Zrinjski will be eager to get the job done at the earliest. The Nobles ran out 6-2 victors in the first leg and a place in the Europa League playoffs. The second-leg win looks almost certain for the Nobles. In the first leg, Zrinjski scored within the first six minutes, the six goals. Tomislav Kis and Matija Malekinusic were the major contributors. However, Nemanja Bilbija and Antonio Ivancic also chipped in with notable contributions. Zrinjski will be eagerly anticipating the prospect of facing their opponents again this week. With the tie very much in the bag, and their league campaign set to begin on Sunday, the Nobles could field a changed lineup here.
Anton Logi Ludviksson and Gisli Eyjolfsson were the scorers for the Breidablik. The Blikar need to win the second leg by five goals to reach the next round which looks an unlikely prospect. One of the major concerns for Blikar this time has been their defence. Breidablik’s defence has been fragile of late. The Blikars conceded six times against Copenhagen in their last European qualifier. Added to this misery, was their agonising 4-3 loss to Reykjavik in the league. Blikars need to solve their defensive chaos slowly but surely if they are to make their maiden appearance at a major European tournament.
