So far this summer, Dinamo Zagreb has won four out of four UEFA Champions League Qualification matches.
Dinamo Zagreb and Legia Warsaw will face their toughest task yet in the UEFA Champions League Qualifications when they face off in a bid for a playoff spot.
They breezed through Valur without having to play any of their major players because the players who will be participating in EURO 2020 were still on holiday at the time.
The stars returned to face Cypriot champions Omonia in the second qualifying round. The final result was the same: the Croatians advanced without allowing a goal (3-0 on aggregate).
Damir Krznar, the head coach, would love to see his squad keep another clean sheet against the Polish champions, but we wouldn't hold our breath in his shoes after the team conceded three goals in the weekend's draw with Rijeka.
Dinamo have already made two mistakes in the first three matches of the new 1. HNL season, losing 0-2 at home to Slaven Koprivnica in mid-July.
On the plus side for the hosts, their Polish Ekstraklasa opponents Legia haven't fared much better at the start of their fresh championship defense campaign.
On Saturday, the side led by former Polish U21 national team head coach Czeslaw Michniewicz was defeated 3-1 by Radomiak Radom in the second round.
In recent years, Dinamo Zagreb has been considerably more consistent in terms of successful European runs. Last season, the Croatian champions advanced all the way to the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals, defeating Tottenham Hotspur in the last 16 round.
They also won their respective group, despite surrendering the game's first goal in the sixth round. Legia, on the other hand, was eliminated early from the UEFA Champions League Qualifications and was eliminated from the UEFA Europa League playoffs by Azerbaijani Qarabag last time out. As the key betting choice, we'll go with the home win at 1.65 odds.
