LiontipsDinamo Zagreb vs Milan. Prediction (odds 2.65) and bets on the Champions League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Dynamo looked like a contender for a playoff spot at the start of the league stage, and their experience at the international level allowed the Croatian champion to count on a place in the top 24, but the Blues were not the clear favorites in the upcoming race. In the very first round, Dynamo suffered a real fiasco in Munich, losing 2:9 to Bayern, but this failure only motivated the team.
Dynamo later had a few bright matches, taking points from Monaco (2:2), winning two victories in a row over Salzburg (2:0) and Slovan (4:1), but for now they are in 26th place in the table with eight points and two points behind 10th Stuttgart. The situation could have been more promising, but in the last round the Blues lost 0:3 to Arsenal away without a chance, suffering their third defeat in the Champions League.
In the Croatian championship, Dinamo is in a real disaster – before the start of the season, the Blues were traditionally considered clear contenders for the championship title, but at the moment they occupy only third place in the table. They are seven points behind the leader Rijeka, and five points ahead of Hajduk. In the first match after the winter break, Dinamo beat Istra 3:1.
Disqualifications and injuries
Casavenda is disqualified. Sučić and Petković are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Dynamo have not won in their last three Champions League matches – two defeats and a draw
- Dynamo have conceded in five of their seven Champions League matches
- Dynamo have failed to score in their last two home matches in the Champions League
Estimated line-up: Nevistic – Ristovski, Mmae, Torrente, Pierre-Gabriel – Ademi, Bernauer, Rog – Stojkovic, Kulenovic, Baturina.
Current form
Milan seriously strengthened their squad in the summer and clearly expected success both in the championship and in the Champions League – before the start of the league stage, the Rossoneri were considered clear contenders for a place in the top eight. However, Milan started with two defeats in a row to Liverpool (1:3) and Bayer (0:1), thus seriously jeopardizing their ticket to the playoffs, but pulled themselves together in time.
The failure in Leverkusen in the second round remains the last one for Milan in the Champions League to date – a series of five victories in a row allowed them to reach the sixth line in the table. However, the Rossoneri have not yet guaranteed themselves a ticket to the playoffs – 13th Brest has two points less and today they need to take the maximum in order to be guaranteed to be in the 1/8 finals.
In Serie A, Milan frankly failed the first round and Sergio Conceição has not yet forced the team to improve its stability. With 34 points, the Rossoneri occupy seventh place in the table and are already five points behind fourth-placed Lazio, but still have a match in hand. In the last round, Milan beat Parma 3:2, but scored two goals in injury time, and after the final whistle, a brawl broke out between the head coach and the captain.
Disqualifications and injuries
Calabria suspended. Emerson, Florenzi, Loftus-Cheek and Thiaw injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Milan have won their last five matches in the Champions League
- Milan have conceded in seven of their last eight matches
- Milan have beaten Dynamo in their last four matches
Tentative line-up: Maignan - Hernandez, Gabbia, Pavlovic, Bartesaghi - Bennacer, Fofana, Leau, Reynders, Musah - Morata.

2.15Tip and bets
Milan have not yet guaranteed a place in the 1/8 finals, and a mistake in today match could cost them dearly - the visitors will clearly have no problems with motivation. In the last rounds, the Rossoneri looked quite decent in the game, having won two victories in a row, they are significantly superior in class to their opponents and are quite capable of setting themselves the highest goals. Dynamo played several bright matches in the Champions League, but overall they looked unimpressive, the Blues lost to their opponents in the last four matches, the series will certainly continue.
We think that the hosts have no chance. Betting Tip - Asian handicap (-1) on Milan . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.89
Bet on total
Milan needs to take the maximum today to be guaranteed to be in the 1/8 finals. Surely, from the first minutes, the Rossoneri will be as aggressive as possible in front and it is unlikely that Dynamo has a chance to play to zero against such an opponent. However, Milan is also far from ideal in defense, there are plenty of problems, including personnel, the blues are capable of playing openly at home and will surely respond with one goal, the hosts are also motivated enough.
Bet - both teams to score. This bet is offered for 1.61
Combined rate
Milan will certainly be counting on all three points today – only a win will ensure a ticket to the 1/8 finals. The Rossoneri have had enough problems throughout the season, but there has been no talk of a crisis lately, they have a very serious advantage in class and the visitors are quite capable of taking their three points. At the same time, Dynamo has its own tasks for the last round and will also strive for victory, on their home field the Blues are capable of playing on opposite courses and are unlikely to lose without scoring.
The bet is Milan win and both teams will score. This bet is offered with odds of 2.65
