Dinamo Zagreb vs Milan: Match preview
Dinamo Zagreb still has a chance to qualify for the playoffs, but they must win this game. With eight points from seven rounds, they currently sit in 26th place in the standings, just two points shy of the playoff zone. A victory is essential, and they will also need to rely on missteps from their rivals to progress.
Milan, on the other hand, has already secured a spot in the UEFA Champions League playoffs. They have 15 points from seven matches and are currently in sixth place. However, their campaign started poorly, with two losses in the opening rounds. Since then, Milan has won five consecutive matches, including a narrow 1-0 victory over Girona in the previous round. Despite their strong form, the Rossoneri have yet to secure a spot in the Round of 16 and will need to win this match to push for a top-eight finish.
Probable lineups
- Dinamo Zagreb: Nevistić; Ristovski, Torrente, Bernauer, Mmaee, Pierre-Gabriel; Stojković, Ademi, Baturina, Pjaca; Kulenović.
- Milan: Maignan; Terracciano, Tomori, Pavlović, Hernández; Bennacer, Fofana; Pulisic, Reijnders, Leão; Morata.
Prediction
Dinamo Zagreb must win to keep their playoff hopes alive. However, Milan also has a strong incentive to secure a spot in the top eight and avoid the preliminary round of the playoffs. Considering their superior form and historical dominance, my bet is on Milan to win this match with odds of 1.52.
