Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Bodo will look to keep their Europa League last 32 hopes alive when they take on Zurich at Letzigrund Stadion on Thursday evening. Bodo aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Arsenal, and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Since the Norwegian champions have been scoring goals for fun in the national championship of late, crushing both Valerenga (6-0) and Kristiansund (5-0), and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping.
Fet and Vetti should be the only absentees in the away team. Zurich, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team losing each of their four group games, and given Bodo’s form in October, we do not believe that the hosts are capable of grabbing something from the match. The good news for the Swiss outfit is that defender Becir Omeragic has overcome his injury.
Highlighted Player (Ivan Santini):
Ivan Santini is a Croatia international who plays for Caen as a striker. Santini was born on May 21, 1989 in Zadar, Croatia and he played for his hometown club Zadar at the start of his youth career. In 2006 he moved to fellow Croatian club Inter Zapresic and at the end of the 2006/2007 season he joined Austrian side Red Bull Salzburg. In 2009 Ivan Santini signed for 2.
Bundesliga team Ingolstadt and he made his debut for the club on March 8, 2009. The Croatian attacker came as a substitute in a match against 1860 Munchen and scored his first goal in the German second tier. Santini soon returned to Zadar and after spending four years at the club, he signed for Belgian team Kortrijk in 2013.
The 190-cm-tall striker scored 30 goals in 69 appearances for the club in the league and, as a result, Standard Liege chiefs decided to bring him to Stade Maurice Dufrasne in the summer of 2015. Ivan Santini moved to French club Caen in 2016 and he has been playing for the Ligue 1 outfit ever since. The attacker made his senior debut for Croatia on May 28, 2017 in a 2-1 win over Mexico.
