Velez Mostar host Dunajska Streda at Stadion Bilino Polje in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League 2026/27 Second Qualifying Round tie. The Bosnian side faces a steep task after losing the first leg 0-1, meaning they must score at least once just to force extra time. Dunajska Streda arrive with a clear advantage and a defensive setup that has been hard to break down across their last several outings.
Keep an eye on Giorgi Gagua for Dunajska Streda. The forward has scored two goals across his last three appearances and carries a consistent threat in the final third. For Velez Mostar, Aldin Mesic is the player most likely to cause damage, having netted once in four recent appearances and leading the attacking line in a 4-2-3-1 system.
Hot stat: Dunajska Streda registered 36 total shots across their last five matches compared to just 15 for Velez Mostar. That ratio tells a clear story about where the attacking momentum sits in this tie.

Velez Mostar vs Dunajska Streda Prediction
Dunajska Streda hold a 1-0 aggregate lead going into this second leg, and the bookmakers reflect that position clearly. The Slovak side won the first meeting through a single goal and have shown across their recent games that they are comfortable managing leads without overextending.
Velez Mostar’s season record of 16 wins from 32 matches looks reasonable on paper, but their last 30 days have been poor. One win, one draw, and one loss in that stretch, combined with their first-leg defeat, makes it hard to argue they are in the form needed to overturn this deficit at home. We predict Dunajska Streda to advance, and the most logical bet is on them winning or drawing this second leg, which keeps them through on aggregate.
Dunajska Streda have committed 12 fouls across five recent matches and picked up seven yellow cards, suggesting they play a physical but disciplined defensive game. Velez Mostar, by contrast, accumulated 10 yellow cards in the same window, indicating a more aggressive and at times desperate style. That aggression may generate set-piece opportunities, which is where their 11 corner kicks across five games could come into play. The Slovak side earned 13 corners in the same period, so both teams press forward from wide areas, but Dunajska Streda’s superior pass volume of 442 passes versus Velez’s zero recorded passing data points to a team that controls tempo rather than chasing it.

Team Analysis
Velez Mostar’s recent run shows a team that is inconsistent and struggling to string results together. Across their last five recorded matches, they beat Milsami 1-0, drew with Milsami 1-1, lost 0-3 to Zrinjski, lost 2-3 to Sarajevo, and then fell 0-1 to Dunajska Streda in the first leg of this tie. Three losses in five games is a concerning run, and the 0-3 defeat to Zrinjski in particular suggested defensive vulnerabilities against teams that press with intensity. Their coach Ibro Rahimic will need to find a way to be more direct and clinical, but the squad’s attacking output has been limited, with just two goals across five matches.
Dunajska Streda come into this match off a 1-1 draw with Ruzomberok in their domestic league, following the 1-0 win over Velez Mostar in the first leg. Before that, they beat Bolton 2-1 in a friendly and drew 1-1 with Austria Vienna. The one defeat in their last five was a 0-1 loss to Hapoel Tel Aviv. Coach Robert Klauß has his side playing a 4-4-2 structure that is compact and well-organized. Three wins, one draw, and one loss across their last five outings speaks to a team in steady form, not spectacular, but consistent enough to protect what they have.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Dunajska Streda the Favourite
- Moneyline Velez Mostar 4.30 | Dunajska Streda 1.85
- Draw 3.56
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
The odds confirm what the aggregate scoreline already suggests. Dunajska Streda at around 1.85 to win this match outright is fair value given their first-leg advantage and the form differential between the two sides. Velez Mostar at 4.30 reflects the size of the task they face. A draw at 3.56 is interesting since it would still send Dunajska Streda through, which actually makes the Slovak side’s chances of advancing even stronger than the simple win odds imply. To be honest, backing Dunajska Streda on the moneyline or on the double chance market looks like the most sensible approach here.
Possible Starting Lineups
Velez Mostar Possible Starting Eleven
- DF: Ante Hrkać, Ajdin Nukić, Anes Omerovic, Rafidine Abdullah
- MF: Andro Babic, Dani Salcin, Damir Halilovic
- FW: Aldin Mesic, Leonid Ignatov, Faruk Setic
Velez Mostar are expected to line up in their familiar 4-2-3-1 shape. The back four of Hrkać, Nukić, Omerovic, and Abdullah has been consistent across recent matches, with Abdullah picking up three yellow cards in five games, which is a discipline concern. Aldin Mesic leads the attack and is the primary goal threat. Velez need him to be sharp early if they are to have any chance of overturning the deficit. Andro Babic anchors the midfield with four appearances in five games.
Dunajska Streda Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Aljaž Ivačič
- DF: Klemen Nemanic, Simen Juklerød, Tsotne Kapanadze, Taras Kacharaba
- MF: Filip Blažek, Samsondin Ouro, Uros Kabic, Andreas Gruber
- FW: Giorgi Gagua, Ammar Ramadan
Dunajska Streda should set up in their 4-4-2 system under Robert Klauß. Aljaž Ivačič takes the goalkeeper spot with three recent appearances. The defensive unit is anchored by Klemen Nemanic and Simen Juklerød, both of whom have been solid across three recent outings. Giorgi Gagua is the standout name up front with two goals in three games, and Ammar Ramadan provides the second striker threat. This is a team that can absorb pressure and hit on the counter, which suits a second-leg away scenario perfectly.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Velez Mostar need a positive result to stay in this tie, but the evidence points firmly against them. They have scored just two goals across their last five matches, lost three of those games, and were beaten at home by the very side they now must overcome. Dunajska Streda are the better-ranked side by a significant margin and have looked composed throughout this campaign.
We predict Dunajska Streda to win or draw this second leg and advance comfortably. A low-scoring match is the most likely outcome given the Slovak side’s disciplined defensive structure and Velez’s limited attacking output. Perhaps the most telling detail is that Dunajska Streda have already shown they can score at Bilino Polje. We back them to keep this match tight, protect their lead, and progress to the next round of the Conference League.
