Bitesize Prediction: Zrinjski vs Legia – 26/10/23

Competition: Europa Conference League

Market: Zrinjski double chance

Odds: 8/13 @ BetUS

Hoping to extend their stay at the top of the Group E table, Zrinjski will welcome Legia Warsaw to Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Zrinjski might have eventually suffered major heartbreak away at Premier League outfit Aston Villa earlier in the month as they suffered a last-gasp 1-0 loss, the Nobles have continued to gain a string of plaudits. Opening up their Europa Conference League adventure with a famous 4-3 win against AZ Alkmaar on foreign soil, Krunoslav Rendulic’s side suddenly have their sights set on punching a knockout stage ticket this year. Picking up some perfect momentum over the weekend as they cruised their way to a routine 3-0 romp against Velez Mostar while on domestic duties, Zrinjski have now won six of their previous seven appearances across all competitions – a run that stems back to September 16th. Still riding a real wave after landing that iconic victory in Amsterdam last month, it should also be highlighted that Rendulic’s high-flying squad have won each of their last four showdowns at the Stadion pod Bijelim Brijegom by an aggregate score of 11-4.

As for the visitors, although Legia Warsaw might have opened up their Europa Conference League adventure with a stellar 3-2 win against Aston Villa back on September 21st, Kosta Runjaic’s side have come crashing down to earth in a rather worrying fashion. Putting in a nightmare performance over the weekend as they slumped to an infamous 4-0 drumming at the hands of Slask, it appears there could be some mounting pressure on Kosta Runjaic’s shoulders. In fact, along with suffering a toothless 1-0 defeat against AZ Alkmaar last time out on European duties, Thursday’s guests have now lost each of their previous four appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 9-1. Showing some extended issues at both ends of the pitch, Legia will have plenty of pressure on their shoulders here. Facing what could be a tricky test when they travel out to Bosnia and Herzegovina in midweek, a home double chance can be found at generous odds.
