Dinamo Zagreb vs Real Betis Preview

Real Betis dominated the pitch in the first clash but still lost 1-0. I expect Manuel Pellegrini’s side to bounce back and beat Dinamo Zagreb who are inconsistent throughout the entire season. Low-scoring affair is also expected.

Head to Head

Last week’s match in Spain was the first head to head encounter between these two teams.

Dinamo Zagreb have a 1-0 advantage from the first leg.

Dinamo Zagreb Form

Dinamo Zagreb were mostly focused on defending in last week’s first leg against Real Betis in Spain, but still won 1-0 with Bruno Petkovic converting a penalty kick in the second half.

The Blues made it two in a row last weekend in the Croatian top flight by beating Varazdin 1-0 at home with Petkovic being the sole scorer once again. They had a rough start to 2024, losing to Lokomotiva Zagreb 3-0 and then being held to a 2-2 draw by the same opponent in February.

As a consequence, Dinamo Zagreb slipped down to 3rd place on the HNL table, being six points behind the leaders NK Rijeka.

As for their European journey, Dinamo Zagreb advanced to the Conference League playoffs as 2nd placed team in Group C, behind Viktoria Plzen, ahead of Astana and Ballkani.

Dinamo Zagreb Injuries & Team News

Luka Stojkovic, Lukas Kacavenda, Marko Rog, Mahir Emreli and Sadegh Moharrami are injured.

Real Betis Form

Real Betis had 1.00-0.88 expected goals, 55% possession and 16-6 shots in the first leg against Dinamo Zagreb but still lost at home.

The Greens and Whites are having huge problems with creativity since Isco suffered an injury, failing to find the net for the second game in a row last weekend against Deportivo Alaves (0-0).

Manuel Pellegrini’s side ended up playing in the Conference League playoffs after finishing 3rd in the Europa League Group C, behind Rangers and Sparta Prague, ahead of Aris Limassol. They had three wins and three defeats with a 9-7 goal difference.

Real Betis Injuries & Team News

Marc Bartra, Guido Rodriguez, Isco and Abner are injured.

Verdict

Dinamo Zagreb v Real Betis

Real Betis have won their last two away matches against Mallorca and Cadiz. I think they are ahead of Dinamo Zagreb in terms of quality, despite losing the first leg, so an away win is tipped in Croatia.
