After being eliminated by AEK in the third qualifying round last year, the hosts want to return to the most elite European competition this year. As they won the jubilee 25th Croatian championship title, they automatically took a place in the play-off phase of the competition, so today's match will be their first on the European stage this season. They are expecting him in a good atmosphere and rhythm, because in the opening three rounds of the Croatian championship, they achieved the same number of victories, and along the way scored as many as ten goals. The important thing for the "Blues" is that they did not run out of important players over the summer, all the key players remained in the club, so harmony should not be a problem for Jakirovic's team. Of the reinforcements, the biggest name that strengthened the team from the capital is the returning Marko Pjaca, who had an excellent season in Rijeka, and next to him, Juan Cordoba, who was paid two million euros, stands out.

On the other hand, Qarabag started its European adventure from the second round of qualifications in which it was better than Lincoln, and then in a true football thriller, it knocked out Ludogorets as well. Qarabag lost the first match against "Crazy Forest" in front of their fans 1-2, plus Ludogorets led in the second match in the middle of the first half, however, the Azerbaijani champion "turned on" from that moment and started crushing. He made up for the deficit by the end of the half and took a 3-2 lead, which was enough to take the match to extra time, and in them, Qarabag showed special dominance and scored as many as four goals 7-2 to secure a place in the playoffs.

I expect an interesting match at Maksimir. Dinamo will look to secure an advantage before the rematch, but Qarabag showed that they are a tough away team, so I'm expecting a surprise tonight.

在去年资格赛第三轮被AEK淘汰后，东道主希望今年重返欧洲最精英的赛事。由于他们赢得了第25届克罗地亚锦标赛冠军，他们自动进入了比赛的附加赛阶段，所以今天的比赛将是他们本赛季在欧洲舞台上的第一场比赛。他们期待着他在一个良好的氛围和节奏中，因为在克罗地亚锦标赛的前三轮，他们取得了相同的胜利，并在比赛中打进了多达10个进球。对于“蓝军”来说，重要的是他们在夏天没有缺少重要的球员，所有的关键球员都留在了俱乐部，所以和谐应该不是亚基洛维奇的球队的问题。在这些增援中，来自首都的最大牌球员是回归的马科·帕恰，他在里耶卡度过了一个出色的赛季，而在他旁边的胡安·科尔多瓦(Juan Cordoba)则以200万欧元的薪水脱颖而出。

另一方面，卡拉巴格从资格赛第二轮就开始了欧洲之旅，他们在资格赛中表现得比林肯好，然后在一个真正的足球惊悚片中，他们也淘汰了卢多戈雷茨。第一场比赛，卡拉巴在球迷面前以1比2输给“疯狂森林”，第二场比赛，卢多戈雷茨在上半场中段领先，然而，阿塞拜疆冠军从那一刻开始“开启”，开始压制。上半场结束时，卡拉巴格扳回比分，取得3-2的领先，这足以将比赛拖入加时赛。在这场比赛中，卡拉巴格表现出特殊的统治力，以7-2的比分连进4球，确保了季后赛的席位。

我期待在马克西米尔有一场有趣的比赛。迪纳摩将在复赛前确保优势，但卡拉巴格表现出他们是一支强硬的客场球队，所以我期待今晚的惊喜。
