Head-to-Head
In the 2014/15 season, the opponents were in the same Europa League group. At that time, Celtic was stronger in Glasgow, scoring the only goal in the sixth minute. The match in Zagreb was much more eventful. However, this time the Croatian team was stronger (4:3). Notably, Marko Pjaca scored a hat-trick back then. Over the past 10 years, he has wandered through various European clubs and returned to Zagreb this season.
Dinamo Zagreb
Dinamo Zagreb vs Celtic Predictionis on a decline. Even in the national championship, they haven’t won in the last four rounds. The team has dropped to third place and is now six points behind Hajduk. However, things are going well in the Champions League, except for the failure against Bayern (2:9) in the first round. Surprisingly, the Croatian team was recently ahead of Munich in the standings. This was possible thanks to away victories over Salzburg (2:0) and Slovan (4:1). Moreover, Dinamo took points from Monaco (2:2). However, they have struggled against German teams. In the last round, they conceded three unanswered goals from Borussia Dortmund in Zagreb. It should be noted that Takuma Ogiwara, Petar Sucic, and Bruno Petkovic will not play due to injuries in the upcoming match. The latter two are Croatian national team players and are significant for Dinamo Zagreb.
Celtic
Celtic is confidently heading towards another championship in Scotland. They are nine points ahead of Aberdeen and have a game in hand. Therefore, the team can focus on the Champions League, where they are only in 20th place in the standings. They have only lost to Borussia Dortmund, albeit by a large margin (1:7). It should be noted that the Scots have not faced any truly top opponents so far. Nevertheless, Celtic defeated not only Slovan (5:1) but also Leipzig (3:1). They barely held off Atalanta’s attack in Bergamo (0:0), and in the last round, they drew with Brugge at home (1:1). It should be noted that only Odin Holm is on the injured list, having played only 26 minutes this season.
Prediction for Goals
Dinamo Zagreb scores quite a lot in the Champions League. Even in the match where they conceded nine goals from Bayern, they managed to score twice. In a stretch of seven matches, they failed to reach this mark only once. Therefore, it’s worth considering a bet on Dinamo Zagreb‘s total goals over 1.5.
Prediction for Corners
In the current Champions League campaign, Celtic has an advantage in corners – 5.8 against 2.6. In away matches, they average only four corner kicks. Meanwhile, at home, Dinamo Zagreb has slightly more corners – 3.3. In this situation, it’s worth considering a bet on the home team’s total corners under 5.5.
Match Prediction
The favorite for the upcoming match is Celtic, who have only one defeat in the tournament. They suffered a heavy loss to a Bundesliga representative, just like Dinamo Zagreb. The tournament situation is such that both teams need points. In this situation, a draw would be an acceptable result. Therefore, note the potential exact score of 2:2.
Each side has one match in this campaign where they failed to score. Both teams do not sit back defensively, averaging two goals per match. Expect a relatively open game with dangerous moments from both sides. Therefore, as a key bet, we suggest – both teams to score (Yes).
