Zrinjski will host Slovan Bratislava at the Stadion pod Bijelim Brijegom on Tuesday in the second leg of their 2025-26 second-round UEFA Champions League qualifying campaign. The hosts will remain hopeful to put up a historic performance and avoid elimination from the qualifying round after a disappointing first-leg defeat.
Zrinjski were completely blown out of the water when they made the trip to Slovakia last midweek as they were defeated 4-0 by Tuesday’s visitors, failing to register a single shot on target. The Bosnian side have never made it past the second qualifying round of a Champions League campaign in their history and will need something truly special to undo that record this week.
Slovan Bratislava have a foot in the third qualifying round following last week's victory and will be looking forward to meeting either Kairat or KuPS in the next stage. The Slovakian giants made their first appearance in the main stages of the Champions League last season, finishing 35th out of 36 teams in the league phase and will be determined to go at least that far once again in this season's campaign.
