Zrinjski Mostar preview: Fighting for their honour
The team from Bosnia and Hercegovina were firmly the underdogs coming into this tie, but their fans certainly hoped for more than being three goals down ahead of the second leg at home. At this point, Zrinjski will need a miracle to get to the group stages, but at least we can expect them to put up a good fight backed by their fans.
Predicted lineup: Maric (GK), Corluka, Sunjic, Barisic, Ticinovic, Ivancic, Posavec, Mlinar, Cuze, Malekinusic & Mulahusejnovic

Vitoria de Guimaraes preview: The start of something special?
Given how well they are currently playing, it only seems right that Vitoria de Guimaraes have a crack at Europe this season. If they continue in similar form throughout the season then will be one of the favourites to win the entire competition. Of course, they first have to confirm their spot in the group stage, but it seems like a mere formality after winning the first leg against Zrinjski by three goals.

Player to watch: Ricardo Mangas
With four goals in the Europa Conference League qualifiers, Mangas has been the go to guy on the offensive end for Vitoria Guimaraes so far in Europe and we can see him doing well in the second match with Zrinjski too.
Mangas to score first?
In two of the three games in which he has scored this season, Mangas was the first goalscorer. Can he repeat that on Thursday evenining?
