Varazdin and Jablonec face each other in the first leg of the Conference League second qualifying round, with both teams hoping to take an early advantage in the tie. Varazdin head into their European opener in excellent spirits after a flawless preseason campaign, winning all six of their warm-up matches. The Croatian side have looked well-organised at both ends of the pitch and will be eager to carry that momentum into competitive action. However, the build-up has been overshadowed by captain Oliver Zelenika's decision that he no longer wants to play for the club, forcing the hosts to adjust. Even so, Varazdin have been strong at home, winning three of their last five matches there while conceding just 0.6 goals per game.
Jablonec, meanwhile, also enjoyed a positive finish to preseason, recording back-to-back victories over Osnabruck and Kharkiv. The Czech outfit possess greater European experience and will once again rely on last season's top scorer Jan Chramosta to lead the attack. However, their away form has been a concern, with defeats in each of their last four away matches and only two goals scored during that spell. Given Varazdin's impressive preparations and home advantage, the Croatian side look capable of taking a narrow first-leg lead.
As Varazdin have won all six preseason matches and boast an impressive home record, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (first legs are often tight affairs, while Varazdin have been defensively solid on home soil).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 23 July 2026 at 19:00.
