One Previous Meeting
Last week's match in Zagreb was the first head to head clash between these sides.
Viking Slightly Favored to Advance
Viking were automatically placed into the UCL qualifying playoffs after winning the Norwegian Eliteserien in the previous season.
They had an awful start to last week's tie in Croatia, conceding two goals in the opening ten minutes but kept their heads straight, took over control and got away with a 2-2 draw. Tobias Moi was the top performer with two assists for Zlatko Tripic and Peter Christiansen.
Their numbers are looking strong in the Eliteserien 2026 campaign too, winning 13 out of 17 matches so far, but sit in second place one point behind Bodo/Glimt.
Dinamo Unbeaten This Season
Dinamo Zagreb had 2.63-0.93 expected goals, 60% possession, two-goal advantage and 23-6 shots in the first tie but still had to settle for a 2-2 draw.
Earlier in the qualifiers, the Croatian champions needed extra-time to eliminate Thun 4-3 on aggregate, but cruised past Kauno Zalgiris 7-1 on aggregate in the previous round.
They are having a strong start to the new 1. HNL campaign, earning three victories in three rounds against Slaven Belupo 2-0, Rudes 4-0 and Varazdin 3-1, Dion Beljo appearing on the scoresheet on all three occasions.
Team News & Predicted Lineups
Viking (4-3-3) Arild Ostbo; Henrik Heggheim, Gianni Stensness, Henrik Falchener, Kristoffer Haugen; Kristoffer Askildsen, Joe Bell, Tobias Moi; Zlatko Tripic, Peter Christiansen, Edvin Austbo
The Norwegian champions are missing Anders Baertelsen, Martin Ove Roseth, and Veton Berisha due to injuries. Zlatko Tripic is expected to lead the attack once again.
Dinamo Zagreb (4-3-3) Ivan Nevistic; Moris Valincic, Sergi Dominguez, Scott McKenna, Matteo Perez Vinlof; Lukas Kacavenda, Josip Misic, Miha Zajc; Mateo Lisica, Dion Drena Beljo, Mislav Orsic
The visitors have selection concerns surrounding Luka Stojkovic, Fran Topic, and Miha Zajc, all three tagged as doubtful at the moment, while Ivan Filipovic remains suspended.
Verdict
Viking scored 21 goals in their last six games in front of the home crowd. All of Dinamo's UCL qualifying games were quite action-packed, so I am backing BTTS & over 2.5 goals in Norway.
