We said: Urartu 0-1 Zrinjski Mostar
Zrinjski Mostar have more experience in the competition, pushing Sheriff Tiraspol all the way last season, while they were also much more dominant than their opponents in their domestic league.
As such, we expect the Bosnian side to emerge as narrow victors, taking a slender advantage into the second leg in a week's time.
