Dinamo Zagreb will start the favorites as they take on Austria Wien in the first leg of the Champions League playoffs at home.
Zagreb coach Krunoslav Jurcic, after seeing his side see off CS Fola Esch and FC Sheriff in the previous rounds is not taking a win over Austria Wien for granted.
"We have a clear plan in place," he said. "Getting past Sheriff was nice and now it's a case of putting the icing on the cake.
"My players are aware of the prize at stake, they have worked extremely hard for this opportunity. We must respect our opponents, who are very solid and well-organised.
"We possess the quality to reach the Champions League group stage once more. I'm sure our fans will create a fantastic atmosphere. They make our job a lot easier.
"Austria may not have the individual quality, but they have fantastic team spirit. I expect them to sit back away from home and wait to pounce on our mistakes."
Austria Wien manager acknowledged Dinamo are the favorites, but does not rule his side out pulling off a surprise.
"Today (Tuesday) is my birthday and it would be a lovely present from my players tomorrow (Wednesday) if they could give me a good result," the Croatian, who confirmed the absence of the injured Alexander Gorgon," said.
"Of course, Dinamo are favourites -- not only they have more experience than us, but they have quality players, but we won the Austrian championship, we have an experienced team who know each other well and are massively motivated to reach the Champions League (group stage) for the first time in the club's history."
