Zrinjski played three friendly matches ahead of their European appearances and did not allow any slip-ups - three wins with a goal difference of 9:2.

It isn't easy to choose a favorite for the upcoming duel, but we can talk about the high productivity of both teams.

In Yerevan, it is unlikely to be closed football; the teams will try to play the best possible game in the first leg. We do not rule out a game advantage for the hosts; they will be better with the fans' support.
