Command Analysis
Dinamo Zagreb
Dinamo Zagreb, after losing to Hajduk (1:2) on October 10, managed to improve and won two victories in a row: first, in the Europa League, they won a minimal victory over the Belgian Anderlecht (1:0), and then in the national championship they managed to defeat Slaven Belupo (5:1) on the road. Let's remind that in the first round of the Europa League, the Croatian champion broke up with Hapoel Beersheba (0-0). In the overall tournament table, the hosts are on the 14th line.
NEC Nijmegen
Nijmegen is still unable to get out of the crisis. The last victory was won at the end of August, when Zwolle was beaten 3-1 on the road. After that, there were three defeats in four matches, and after the break for the national team match, the guests only play a draw. In the Dutch Eredivisie, the club failed to beat Go Ahead Eagles (1:1) and Fortuna (2:2) on its own field, and failed to beat Bulgarian Levski (1:1) in the Europa League home match. The guests started the tournament with a disastrous defeat against Juventus (0:5).
Last season, Nijmegen could have counted on a victory over such an opponent as Dynamo, but now the Dutch team is in a deep crisis and has returned to the status of an average player. But the team from Zagreb shows excellent football and has never missed out in the current Europa League draw. An exemplary defensive performance should help the Croats win their second consecutive home victory in the European Cup.
Our betting tip is the victory of Dinamo Zagreb in 1.63
