Availability isn’t a big problem, with just the lone fitness concern for the NK Osijek boss Simon Rožman to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy group of players. Anton Matkovic (Cruciate ligament tear) will miss out.

💭 Prediction

We’re therefore seeing a very even contest with a 1-0 advantage for NK Osijek after 90 minutes.

We’ll see what happens.
