Firstly they overcome obstacle called Fola Esch in the second round, winning the Luxembourgian champions 6:0 on aggregate, while the third round opponent was Sheriff Tiraspol, however Croatians took care of them with a 1:0 narrow and tough earned victory at home, while they won over Sheriff with a 3:0 result on the road. Croatian champions looked much more relaxed on the road and easily progressed over their opponents with goals from Fernandes, Soudani and Cop. Finally, they are coming from a 2:1 victory at home earned last weekend over Lokomotiva Zagreb, as the team currently stands at first position with 4-2-0 record and fourteen points earned in first six matches. Dinamo set a target at participating in the groups stage of Champions League, but surely know that their destiny is to be decided in the second leg and probably won’t risk too much in the first leg. Hosts have no particular problems for this game as they will welcome back midfielder Sammir, while defensive midfielder Bakary Sare’s participation is questionable, but with chances to play. Austria Vienna, on the other hand, is coming from a 5:0 victory at home over Neustadt last weekend, getting precious victory in front of the one of the most important matches for them this season. Austrians didn’t perform that well in recent matches and although they also want to get into the group stage, they know that this clash will be very tough for them. As said, their victory over Neustadt was a precious one, as the team was without a victory for three matches in a row and only one (over Hafnafjordur) in last five matches played. They also didn’t play that well in the third qualifying round either, as they won over already mentioned team from Iceland only with a 1:0 victory at home, while the second leg ended as a goalless draw where the team from Iceland had initiative for the most of the game. In the domestic league, they are only at the fifth position with more than moderate 2-2-1 record. Guests will be without suspended left defender Suttner who got red carded back in Iceland, while midfielder Simkovic is not ready yet for the new season. Right midfielder Gorgon, who already played in first four rounds in Bundesliga, suffered an injury and won’t be able to participate.
