The UEFA Europa League qualifying match between Zrinjski Mostar and Breidablik will take place at Stadion Bijeli Brijeg on Friday at 12:30 am IST.
Zrinjski Mostar and Breidablik are set to advance in their quest for Europa League qualification as they meet in the first leg match of their third qualifying round on Thursday evening. These two teams, originating from Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iceland respectively, have come to this tournament after exiting the Champions League qualification.
Following their commanding performance in the 2022-23 season, where they clinched the top spot in the Bosnian league with an impressive 20-point lead, Zrinjski is now aiming to secure a spot in the group stages of a European tournament for the first time in their history. Even though the domestic season has yet to begin, Krunoslav Rendulic’s squad has already played four matches in preparation for what is undoubtedly one of the most important matches in their history. The winner of this two-legged round will get a place in the Europa Conference League group stages at the very least.
For Breidablik, this marks only the fourth occasion in their history when they have reached the third qualifying round of a European competition. As Iceland’s top-flight league nears its conclusion before the Championship Round, Oskar Hrafn Porvaldsson’s side finds themselves seven points behind the top spot. Entering this encounter, Breidablik is on a four-game winless streak across all competitions, conceding a total of 13 goals during this period.
