Zrinjski vs Virtus Prediction and Betting Tips | 15th July 2025

Zrinjiski host Virtus on Tuesday for the second leg of their clash in the UEFA Champions League first qualifying round. Following a 2-0 victory in San Marino last week, the Bosnian side hold an advantage in the tie and have one leg in the next round.

Nemanja Bilbija fired them in front in the 45th minute from the penalty spot, before doubling their advantage with only 12 minutes of normal time remaining on the clock.

Zrinjiski, who qualified for the Conference League finals back in 2023, need only a draw here to reach the second round of the qualifiers. They haven't lost out in the first round since 2018, when the side was beaten 2-1 on aggregate by Spartak Trnava in the Champions League qualifiers.

As for Virtus, this is only their second-ever attempt in Europe, having made their debut last year. After losing out in the first round of the Champions League qualifiers, they dropped into the Conference League and were beaten 5-2 by Flora.

With yet another defeat last week, Virtus are left with a mountain to climb once again.
