Legia Warsaw and Zrinjski will battle for three points in a UEFA Europa Conference League fixture on Thursday (November 9th).
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 away victory over Radomiak Radom in the Polish Ekstraklasa on Sunday. Josue scored the match-winner from the spot in the 28th minute.
Zrinjski, meanwhile, comfortably dispatched Tuzla City with a 3-1 home win in the Bosnian Premijer Liga. Nemanja Bilbija broke the deadlock with a 33rd minute penalty before turning provider for Antonio Prskalo to guarantee the result late on.
The Bosnians will now turn their focus back to Europe, where their last game saw them suffer a 2-1 defeat at home to Legia.
The loss left them in third spot in Group E on three points. Legia lead the way at the summit with six points to show for their efforts in three games.

Legia Warsaw vs Zrinjski Prediction
Legia Warsaw's three-game winning run has put them back on track in the league. It has also put them in the driving seat in their quest to qualify for the knockout rounds of a UEFA competition for the first time since 2014/15.
Zrinjski are competing in their maiden European group campaign and have given a good account of themselves. They showed their grit to claw back from three goals down to win against AZ Alkmaar in their opening game but things have gone downhill since then.
Group E is one of the most open groups in the tournament, with all four teams still having their destinies in their hands. We are backing Legia to take one step closer to the round-of-16 with a comfortable win.
