Breidablik take on the visitors Zrinjski in the second leg of UEFA Europa League qualification semifinals. First leg result: 2-6. The match will be played on Thursday, August 17th at Kópavogsvöllur (Kópavogur).
Breidablik managed to exceed expectations. Blikar aren't particularly highly regarded even in their native Iceland. Yes, last year they managed to clinch the top spot, only the second time in their history, but it's clear that this achievement won't be repeated. However, in the Champions League this time, the team collected three scalps! If the victory against Tre Penne was somewhat expected, they then went on to defeat Buducnost and even managed to beat the Irish side Shamrock Rovers twice. However, their fortunes changed when they faced the Danish powerhouse Copenhagen, losing 0-2 at home and 3-6 away. Worse yet, their trip to Mostar had an even more hopeless outcome, ending in a 2-6 defeat.

Zrinjski are practically through to the next stage. Feudals have gradually risen to become not an unconditional favorite, but one of the leading forces in local football during the era of independence. Moreover, they are now winning trophies more frequently. Last season, they even secured the golden double. However, their international results remain modest. After a narrow victory over Urartu (1-0 away, 2-3 at home with success in penalties), they faced Slovan Bratislava from Bosnia, and despite a 0-1 loss at home, they managed a 2-2 draw in Bratislava. However, they overwhelmed the Icelandic side with a tennis-like scoreline of 6-2 in Mostar. So, traveling to the distant island is akin to a tourist visit - it's hard to imagine they would lose there, let's say, 0-4.
On August 10th, the two sides played their first head-to-head match. Essentially, the game becomes a formality. Not only for the hosts, but also for the visitors who are left with nothing but to close the door. It's unlikely they'll succeed - let's bet on the hosts with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Breidablik to win with 0.0 handicap.
