Hlidarendi will host Thursday’s Conference League second qualifying round first-leg clash between Valur and Zrinjski. The Icelandic side head into the match low on confidence after suffering three consecutive defeats in the national championship. Valur have been struggling defensively of late, conceding 20 goals in their last ten matches, while they have managed just one clean sheet during that period. Even so, they tend to produce entertaining football at home, with both teams scoring in each of their last four matches at Hlidarendi.
Zrinjski, meanwhile, travel to Iceland in high spirits after an excellent preseason campaign. The Bosnian champions won each of their four warm-up matches, scoring goals for fun and looking well prepared for another European adventure. Zrinjski have also been solid defensively, conceding just six goals in their last ten outings while keeping six clean sheets. Experienced striker Nemanja Bilbija is expected to lead the line once again and will be the main danger to the Valur backline thanks to his wealth of European experience and eye for goal.
As Zrinjski head into the tie in far better form, while Valur are on a three-game losing streak and struggling defensively. Therefore, Away Win should be considered, alongside Zrinjski Over 1.5 goals and Over 2.5 goals total (Valur's matches average 3.3 goals, and their defensive problems should contribute to another open encounter).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 20:15.
