LiontipsDinamo Zagreb vs Celtic. Prediction (odds 2.30) and bets on the Champions League match
Command Analysis
Current form
The start of the Champions League for Dynamo was a failure – a crushing 2:9 away defeat to Bayern. Then came a change of coach and the results were more or less stabilized. In the next four rounds, Nenad Bjelica charges scored seven points, with which they are now in 23rd place in the playoff zone. It is worth noting that the Blues won two victories over far from the most formidable opponents – Salzburg (2:0) and Slovan (4:1). There was also a home draw with Monaco (1:1).
In the last round, Dynamo were unable to do anything against Borussia Dortmund on their home field (0:3). It looks like the team is currently in a decent decline. Taking into account the Champions League and the national championship, Dynamo has not won in five games in a row - two defeats and three draws. In the previous round of the national championship, they failed to win Slaven on their home field (1:1). As a result, in the domestic championship standings, Nenad Bjelica charges are only in third place and are six points behind the leading duo of Rijeka and Hajduk.

Due to injuries, Sučić, Petković, Mišić and Ogiwara will not play today.

In the last round, https://www.celticfc.com target=_blank rel=noopener>Celtic played against Brugge on their home field and ended in a draw with a score of 1:1. In the team, it is impossible not to mention striker Kuhn, who played 21 matches this season, scored 11 goals and gave the same number of assists.
In the national championship, Brendan Rodgers' men are leading the standings after 16 rounds. Aberdeen were fighting for a while, but they have noticeably slowed down over the distance.

1.82Tip and bets
It is obvious that Dynamo is currently on the decline, as evidenced by a series of five matches without victories. Moreover, even the home field factor does not help, it was not possible to beat not only Borussia Dortmund at Maksimir, but also Rijeka, Slaven in the championship. Celtic is on the move, has no equal in the national championship, lost only one match in the Champions League. Considering the current form of the teams, we recommend a forecast for the victory of the guests in this pair.
Our prediction is a Celtic win at odds of 2.30
Bet on total
Both teams rely on attack in their game, play boldly and it is unlikely that we should expect a closed game. Moreover, Celtic has Kuhn in excellent form in attack, the Croatians will not play defensively on their home field either. We expect at least three goals scored.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.77
Yellow Card Betting
Another promising trend to note is yellow cards. Celtic players have not received more than two yellow cards in seven of their last eight away matches in the Champions League. Based on these statistics, we recommend another betting option.
Prediction - Total yellow cards for Celtic under 2.5 with odds of 1.62
