LiontipsDinamo Zagreb vs Chelsea. Prediction and Betting Tips for UEFA Champions League 2022–23 (September 6, 2022).
Command Analysis
Dinamo Zagreb played three qualifying rounds to reach the Champions League group stage. First, they beat Shkupi (2:2, 1:0) and Ludogorets (2:1, 4:2), and then prevailed over Bodo/Glimt in the playoffs. After a 0:1 away defeat, Dinamo got a high-scoring victory over the Norwegians at home (4:1 ET).
After the first eight rounds of the HNL, Dinamo Zagreb confidently top the standings. The Croatian giants concede in almost every game, but they compensate for that with fantastic performance in attack. The team scored 27 goals in eight games, and Mislav Orsic has delivered 5 goals in the league.
In the summer, Dinamo Zagreb profited from selling several players. Bartol Franjic moved to Wolfsburg, and Kristijan Jakić - to Eintracht. The club strengthened the attack by signing Josip Drmić.
Chelseacouldn't compete for the Premier League title last season and finished in 3rd place. This result, however, allowed them to qualify directly to the Champions League group stage.
In the new edition of the Premier League, the Blues have kept a clean sheet only once, against Everton (1:0). They suffered two defeats away from home, even against Southampton (1:2), who are a much weaker team on paper. Currently, the Londoners occupy the 6th line in the table.
It was a busy summer for Thomas Tuchel's side on the transfer market. The club sold Antonio Rüdiger and Andreas Christensen, but signed Wesley Fofana and Kalidou Koulibaly. We would also mention Marc Cucurella and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who signed the contract in the last days of August.

Tip and bets
Chelsea haven't found their form yet and struggle to deliver good results away from home. The Croatian side, on the other hand, have been amazing at home, and in six games at Stadion Maksimir they scored at least three goals. Both sides concede regularly, so we predict a high-scoring game here.
Our prediction - total over 2.5 goals
Consider taking a risk and playing the individual total of the hosts. Dinamo have been brilliant on offense at home and have scored 19 goals in five games. Chelsea aren't very reliable on defense in away matches, so we believe that Dinamo can score at least two goals in this fixture.
Second bet - Dinamo IT over 1.5 goals
