Slovan Bratislava will square off with Zrinjski Mostar in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League second round qualification tie on Tuesday (July 22nd). The game will be played at Tehelne Pole.
The hosts have not been in action since concluding their Serbia Superliga campaign with a 1-0 home win over Kosice in May 2025. However, they are coming into this game off a 17-1 thrashing of Raca in a friendly.
Zrinjski, meanwhile, eliminated Virtus with a 2-1 home win in the second leg of their qualification tie in the last round, qualifying with a 4-1 aggregate win. They went into the lead thanks to Petar Mamic's 40th-minute strike while Nemanja Bilbija made it 2-0 with 15 minutes left on the clock. Stefano Scappini scored a late consolation strike.
