Utrecht won the first leg 2-0 and now have a serious advantage. Playing at home, the Dutch club will rely on the support of the fans and their powerful attack, as evidenced by the recent victory over Excelsior (4-1). Their form inspires optimism, and home walls add confidence.
Zrinjski Mostar are in poor form: the team has a weak start to the season, including in the domestic championship, including a defeat to local outsiders Željeznicar. The visitors have problems both in attack and defense, and are unlikely to be able to withstand motivated Utrecht on their home field.
