FC Ballkani will welcome Dinamo Zagreb to Stadiumi Fadil Vokrri for a UEFA Europa Conference League clash on Thursday.

Dinamo Zagreb, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat away to Hadjuk Split in the Croatian HNL. Emir Sahiti's goal just before the hour-mark proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The Modri will turn their focus to the continent where they kickstarted their Conference League campaign with a comfortable 5-0 home win over FC Astana. Ballkani fell to a 1-0 defeat away to Viktoria Plzen.
The defeat left them in third spot in Group C while Dinamo Zagreb lead the way at the summit.

Ballkani vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction
This is somewhat unfamiliar territory for Dinamo Zagreb, with the Blues playing an away game in the UEFA Conference League for the first time in their history. The Croatian champions are seasoned European campaigners and marked their tournament debut with a rampaging 5-1 home victory over FC Astana.
Ballkani have been nearly unstoppable at home, with their last defeat in front of their fans coming almost a year ago. However, Xhebrailat failed to win any of their three home games in an eventual last-place finish in the Conference League group stage last season.
We are backing Dinamo Zagreb to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.
