Match preview
After a strong start to the season, Lille have lost a bit of their momentum and are now showing mixed results: in their last five matches, the team has picked up two wins but suffered three defeats. After 13 rounds in Ligue 1, Les Dogues sit fourth with 23 points. In the Europa League, they've played four matches: losing to Crvena Zvezda (0-1) and PAOK (3-4), but beating Roma (1-0) and Brann (2-1), accumulating six points and currently occupying 19th place in the table.
At home, Lille are likely to try to dictate the tempo: expect high possession, dynamic wing play, quick transitions, and intense pressing, especially in the opening 20–30 minutes. Their main objective will be to score first and set the rhythm.
Dinamo Zagreb are showing their class both domestically and in Europe: after 14 rounds of the Croatian Championship, Mario Kovačević’s side are second with 28 points, trailing the leaders by just one. In the Europa League, Dinamo have collected seven points so far: losing to Celta (0-3), drawing with Malmö (1-1), and beating both Maccabi Tel Aviv (3-1) and Fenerbahçe (3-1). As a result, they're 12th in the Europa League standings.
Dinamo Zagreb may opt for a more pragmatic, balanced approach: compact defending, careful control of space, looking to catch their opponents on the counter and capitalizing on set pieces.
Probable lineups
Lille: Ozer; Santos, Mandi, Mbemba, Perraud; Bouaddi, Bentaleb; Broholm, Haraldsson, Correia; Igamane
Dinamo: Nevistic; Pierre-Gabriel, Dominguez, McKenna, Goda; Zajc, Misic; Lisica, Ljubicic, Hoxha; Bakrar
Match facts & head-to-head
- This is the first ever meeting between the two teams
- Four of Lille’s last five matches have ended with two or fewer goals scored
- Dinamo have won just one of their last five away games
Prediction
I expect a cagey contest with few clear-cut chances: Lille have struggled to convert lately, while Dinamo’s away form has been poor. My prediction: total under (3) at 1.75
