There's no exiting this stadium without a winner tonight as it's the second leg of the Champions League 2nd Qualifying Round meeting between Shkupi and Dinamo Zagreb. Game on!

It's quite the trip for Dinamo Zagreb when visiting Shkupi as the cities are 800 kilometers apart.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a 1. HNL game only three days ago. That game, against Slaven Koprivnica, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Dinamo Zagreb.
