ℹ️ Team News: Dinamo Zagreb

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just a single fitness concern for the Dinamo Zagreb boss Zoran Mamić to contend with from an otherwise complete set of players. Dino Peric (Ruptured cruciate ligament) will miss out.

With a completely healthy group available for selection, NK Osijek boss Ivica Kulešević doesn’t have any fitness concerns to report before this clash.

🔮 Prediction

We feel that in this game, Dinamo Zagreb have it within them to see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

In contrast, NK Osijek will not find it easy to break down their defence but we can see them managing to get on the scoresheet here.

We reckon that it will be a pretty comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Dinamo Zagreb at the end of the 90 minutes.
