Zrinjski has been showing inconsistent results, especially in defense. In recent European Cup matches, the team has been conceding regularly (0:4 loss to Bratislava, 1:1 and 2:2 draws), but has also scored. At home against a strong opponent, they will have to play from the attack, which will open up space for counterattacks for Utrecht.
Utrecht is in excellent fighting shape, especially in attack. The team has scored 2+ goals in four of the last five matches, including confident victories over Servette (3:1) and Sheriff (4:1), while the team is experiencing difficulties in defense, especially in away matches. But still, the team from the Netherlands looks preferable in this pair.
