Dinamo Zagreb vs Astana Predictions

Dinamo Zagreb won all four head to head matches against Astana without conceding a single goal, two of which were earlier this season. A home win to nil is the best bet.

Head to Head

This is going to be the fourth head to head encounter between Dinamo Zagreb and Astana.

The Croatian side was victorious in all four matches so far, scoring nine and conceding zero goals.

Dinamo Zagreb Form

Dinamo Zagreb are having a disappointing season on the European scene. First, they were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League qualifiers by AEK Athens 4-3.

The Blues failed to recover and lost their duel to Sparta Prague 5-4 on aggregate in the Europa League playoffs.

Sergej Jakirovic’s side currently sit in 3rd place on the 1. HNL table, grabbing 13 points from the opening six rounds.

Bruno Petkovic has been the top performer, scoring five goals and registering two assists in six league appearances.

Dinamo Zagreb Team News

Luka Stojkovic (ruptured cruciate ligament) and Lukas Kacavenda (knee surgery) are ruled out for this match.

Astana Form

Astana had the same path to the Conference League group stages as Dinamo Zagreb. After dropping out of the UCL qualifiers, they lost to Ludogorets 6-3 on aggregate in the Europa League.

They bounced back in the Conference League playoffs, beating Partizani Tirana 2-1 on aggregate with Marin Tomasov and Stipe Loncar hitting the target.

Astana have been struggling in the Kazak Premier League, sitting in 3rd place six points behind the leaders Ordabasy. Four-game winless streak was interrupted last weekend with a 2-1 win against Tobol.

Astana Team News

All players are fit and eligible to make an appearance on Thursday against Dinamo Zagreb.

Verdict

Dinamo Zagreb v FC Astana

Astana were easily dispatched by Dinamo Zagreb twice this season, losing 4-0 and 2-0. I am expecting to see a similar scenario on Thursday and hosts to win to nil.
