The Croatian side have the upper hand heading into this match after they claimed a narrow 1-0 victory at the Estadio Benito Villamarin last week.

Dinamo Zagreb created a little piece of history in the first leg, as they overcame Real Betis to record their first-ever away victory against Spanish opposition in UEFA competitions.

The Croatian champions have lost all of their previous seven trips to Spain, but that changed when Bruno Petkovic scored a 75th-minute penalty to secure a crucial victory in Andalusia.

Petkovic repeated that feat in Saturday’s home league encounter with Varazdin, scoring a first-half spot-kick to guide his side to another 1-0 victory.

Dinamo Zagreb have won four of their last five competitive matches – with one draw – and Sergej Jakirovic will certainly be pleased with the fact that his side have kept clean sheets in each of those four victories.

With Dinamo Zagreb looking to protect their first-leg advantage, they will be encouraged by the fact that they have lost just one of their previous eight competitive home matches.

After dropping down from the Europa League, Real Betis will have to overturn a deficit if they want to extend their first experience of the Europa Conference League beyond the knockout round playoffs.

Real Betis followed the first-leg defeat with a disappointing goalless draw in Saturday’s league encounter with Alaves – a result that extended their winless home run to four matches.

Although their recent home form will be a cause for concern, Los Verdiblancos have at least managed to win their last two away matches against Mallorca and Cadiz.

However, they endured mixed fortunes on their travels in the Europa League group stage, losing to Rangers and Sparta Prague while securing a narrow victory over Aris Limassol.

Real Betis will hope they can produce a strong away performance in Croatia, as they bid to reach the last 16 of a UEFA competition for a third successive season.
