The match
The fourth matchday of the Conference League group stage sees leaders Legia Warsaw hosting third-place Zrinjski Mostar. This represents a potentially pivotal clash for both sides as all four teams in Group E are still very much in contention for a top two spot. Legia are the current leaders of the group with two wins and a loss putting them on six points. They’re even with second-place Aston Villa on the head-to-head tiebreaker. The 15-time Polish champions come into this fixture on a two match winning streak following their 1-0 away win over Radomiak on the weekend. In the Conference League, Legia managed a famous 3-2 home win over Aston Villa and a 2-1 away win over Mostar in the reverse fixture. They’ll be looking to bounce back with an improved performance at the Polish Army Stadium where they have suffered defeat in their last two straight.
Zrinjski Mostar comes into this fixture on a winning run of their own. A dominant 6-0 away win over Celik in the Bosnian Cup was followed up with a 3-1 home win over Tuzla in the Bosnian Premijer Liga. The defending back-to-back league champions are up to second in the domestic standings with a record of 8-2-2 on the season. This matchup against Legia could arguably be seen as a ‘must-win’ situation. Mostar will still have to contend with a trip to the Netherlands to face AZ and Aston Villa at home to end the campaign. The Bosnian club currently sits third in Group E with three points by way of a 1-0-2 record. Their sole win came in a wild seven-goal thriller over AZ Alkmaar in a 4-3 matchday one victory. Zrinjski Mostar has been in fine goalscoring form, finding the net 12 times in their last four matches alone.
