Prediction: 1-1
Villarreal
Dinamo Zagreb and Villarreal face each other at Stadion Maksimir in a highly-anticipated Europa League game. Dinamo did well to shock Tottenham in the last 16, and they are now on a quest to claim yet another major scalp in the prestigious competition. The good news for the hosts is that important attacker Bruno Petkovic should be fit to face Villarreal. A man to watch in the home side will be Mislav Orsic, who scored a hat-trick in the 3-0 triumph over Spurs.
The Yellow Submarine, on the other hand, are eyeing their sixth consecutive win in all competitions. Villarreal impressed in back-to-back wins over Dynamo Kiev, and given their attacking potential, we believe that punters can find value in betting on both teams to score. Defender Foyth is back from a domestic ban, while both Estupinan and Iborra are likely to miss the game with injuries.
