GNK Dinamo Zagreb is scheduled to host NEC Nijmegen at Maksimir stadium in an upcoming European fixture. The Croatian club enters this match following a 1-0 victory over Anderlecht in their previous European outing.

Thun secured their place in the next round by defeating third-division club Schafhaussen. The match ended in a 2-2 draw after regular time, forcing a penalty shootout.

Thun won the penalty shootout with a final score of 8-7. This narrow victory ensures they will face Hajduk Split in the upcoming European tie.
