Zrinjski Team News

Zrinjski has played four matches in the domestic league this season, as many games were postponed due to their commitments in Europe and a stomach virus that affected the home team’s players. In the first match, Zrinjski defeated GOSK Gabela 3:1; in the second match, they triumphed over Zvijezda with a score of 5:3. However, in the next two games, they suffered two defeats. The first was surprising as they lost to Posušje at home with a score of 0:1, indicating that the players had not fully recovered from the virus. The second defeat was a painful experience as they lost to their arch-rivals, FK Sarajevo, conceding a penalty goal in the 90th minute of the match.

Nevertheless, Zrinjski achieved historic success in Europe this season by becoming the first Bosnian club to reach the group stage of a UEFA competition. With a victory in the two-legged tie against Breidablik, they came one step closer to the group stage of the Europa League but were eliminated by LASK. As a result, Zrinjski found themselves in the group stage of the Conference League, where they will face AZ Alkmaar, Aston Villa, and Legia, so there is no doubt that we can expect an exciting spectacle at the stadium in Mostar.

AZ Alkmaar Team News

Az Alkmaar finished the previous season in the Dutch Eredivisie in fourth place. Despite having the opportunity to secure third place, which grants entry to the Europa League, with a victory against PSV at home, they defeated and conceded the position to Ajax.

AZ first eliminated Santa Coloma in the Conference League qualifiers and then faced Brann in the playoff phase. After a closely contested two-legged tie, they advanced to the group stage of the youngest UEFA competition by winning the penalty shootout.

The guests have demonstrated their powerful form in Dutch football at the beginning of the new season, with four consecutive victories. They defeated GA Eagles 5:1, Waalwijk 1:3, Vitesse 0:2, and Sparta 2:0 in the previous round, placing them in a tie for first place with Twente and PSV.
