Competition: Champions League qualifiers
Market: Dinamo Zagreb win
Odds: 19/20 @ 1xBet
Simply looking to finish off the job and extend on their Champions League qualifying adventure on Wednesday afternoon, Dinamo Zagreb will travel to Astana.
Starting with the hosts, while Astana might have known that they faced a monumental challenge when they travelled out to Croatia for their first-leg meeting last week, Grigori Babayan’s men put in a nightmare performance on foreign soil. Eventually blown away thanks to an infamous 4-0 drumming, the Kazakhstan champions are now seeking what would be a famous qualifying miracle when they return to the Astana Arena in midweek. Likewise, failing to pick up any momentum over the weekend as they suffered a shock 1-0 loss at the hands of Kyzylzhar while on domestic duties, the Yellows are enduring what has been an extended wobble. In fact, along with failing to win any of their last three appearances across all competitions, Wednesday’s hosts have also mustered just a single victory from their previous five attempts. Showing some recent issues in the final third and failing to find the net in over 300 minutes of action, Astana face another huge challenge here.
As for the visitors, making a major first-leg statement on home soil last week as they breezed their way to that stunning 4-0 romp, Dinamo Zagreb are enjoying what has been an eye-catching flurry over the past couple of weeks. Claiming their first HNL victory of the season last weekend as they claimed a routine 3-0 victory away at Istra 1961, the Croatian heavyweights have now secured back-to-back wins across all formats by an aggregate score of 7-0. Finding a real clinical edge in the final third, Igor Biscan’s side will travel over to Kazakhstan rightfully tipped as a standout contender in midweek. Along with landing that stellar 4-0 first-leg win last weekend, it should also be noted that Zagreb have now won each of their last three meetings against Astana by an aggregate score of 7-0. Simply looking to finish off their qualifying romp in midweek, we are backing an away victory here.
