Bravo welcome Zrinjski Mostar to Sportni park Sska Ljubljana for the second leg of the UEFA Conference League second qualifying round on Thursday (August 1). The hosts hold a narrow 1-0 advantage in the tie following their away victory in the first leg in Bosnia last week.
Matic Ivansek's 16th-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Siskarji followed up their continental victory with a comfortable 4-0 home win over Primorje in the Slovenian Prva Liga over the weekend. All four goals were scored in the second half, with Milan Tucic, Martin Pecar, Victor Gidado and Beno Selan scoring to inspire the rout.
Bravo needed extra time to get to this stage following a 2-1 aggregate win over Connah's Quay in the last round, while Zrinjski received a bye to this stage. The winner of this tie will face the loser of the UEFA Europa League qualification tie between Panathinaikos and Botev Plovdiv.

Bravo vs Zrinjski Prediction
Bravo are debuting in Europe and overcame a shock first-leg home defeat to Connah's to get to this stage. They also have a narrow advantage in this tie. Ales Arnol's side will look to consolidate that in front of their fans.
Zrinjski, meanwhile, made history by becoming the first Bosnian club to compete in the group stage of a UEFA competition last season. They will look to repeat the feat, but their shock first-leg defeat at home has left them in dange rof elimination.
However, Mario Ivanković's side are still the favourites and should force extra time with a narrow victory and clean sheet before prevailing.
