Dinamo ended last season with an 18-game unbeaten run and have enjoyed an unbeaten pre-season with three wins in four games. Thun struggled towards the end of the previous campaign, and if Dinamo can pick up where they left off they should be able to claim a first leg win in Switzerland. Clean sheets were an issue for Dinamo on their travels last season as they kept just one shut-out in their final five trips. Thun are generally good for a goal at home as they scored in nine of their final 10 competitive home games so goals at both ends looks likely. 

Fener scored at least three goals in four of their final six home games last season but managed just one clean sheet in their last 13 at this venue. Both teams should be able to contribute and they can combine for at least four goals.

Sturm Graz have won five of their last nine home European games and should be able to make the most of their home advantage against Hearts.

Goals at both ends has been a regular feature of Shamrock’s games as both teams have scored in 10 of their last 14 games. They have failed to score themselves in just one of those games. Ararat scored four goals across the two legs of their previous qualifier but also conceded three themselves, so goals at both ends seems likely.

Sturm Graz finished last term with both teams scoring in five of their final six games, which came against Austria’s top teams after the league split.
