*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Zrinjski are heavily fancied to come out on top with a win probability of 95.2% and have won 94% of games where they have been tipped to win as much as that.

Mario Ivankovic's men followed up their 2-0 win over Virtus with a friendly win over Montenegrin side FK Arsenal on Friday by the same scoreline.

It is now 10 wins from the last 12 games for Tuesday's hosts, who have also recorded eight clean sheets during that span.

SS Virtus have not lost consecutive matches since July 2025 but are currently in danger of ending that streak after an underwhelming second-half display at the San Marino Stadium which culminated in a 2-0 loss.

Luigi Bizzotto's men were breached on the stroke of half time by Nemanja Bilbija's penalty before the 34-year-old put the seal on proceedings 12 minutes from time.

Player to watch – Nemanja Bilbija

Bilbija's nomination as the player to keep an eye on becomes fairly straightforward when you consider the form he has been in of late.

His double against Virtus last time out took him up to 13 goals and three assists in the last 13 games since he went three matches without a goal at the start of March.

Bilbija primed for top scorer award

After scoring at least 20 goals in each of the last three seasons, Bilbija had a slow start to the 2024-25 campaign, and despite picking up the pace towards the end, he could only muster 10 league goals.

This saw him finish eighth in the scoring chart, nine strikes behind Mihael Milnaric. However, ahead of the start of next season, Bilbija seems back to his best, and you would not bet against him picking up a fifth Golden Boot award in six years.
