Prediction: 2-0
Dinamo Zagreb
Thanks to a 2-1 win over Salzburg at Red Bull Arena, Chelsea clinched top position in Group E, but they surely want to extend their winning run in the Champions League to four games. The Blues are eager to make amends for a heavy 4-1 loss to Brighton, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Wednesday’s showdown. All Fofana, James, Kante, and Koulibaly remain in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Croatian champions, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 defeat to Milan, and given their poor display in a 1-0 HNL loss to Osijek, anything but a routine home triumph would be a major surprise. All Ademi, Petkovic, and Orsic should be recalled to the starting XI after the trio was rested at the weekend.
Highlighted Player (Kalidou Koulibaly):
Despite being born in Saint-Die-des-Vosges, France on June 20, 1991, Kalidou Koulibaly represents Senegal on the international stage. Koulibaly began his youth career at Saint-Die, but he played for Metz at the start of his career as well.
The left-footed defender continued playing for les Grenats at the senior level and it has to be noted that he made 42 appearances in the league for the club before joining Genk in 2012. In 2014 Koulibaly signed a five-year deal with Napoli for a fee of £6.5 million. In August 2014 the Senegal international made his Champions League debut in a 1-1 draw with Athletic Club.
Kalidou Koulibaly is a tall, quick and physically strong footballer, who is impressive in the air. He is capable of playing as both centre and full back. The Napoli defender made his Senegal debut in September 2015 against Namibia. In 2017 he represented the Lions of Teranga at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Highlighted Team (Dinamo Zagreb):
Arguably the biggest club in Croatia and one of the most prominent football outfits in the Balkan region, Dinamo Zagreb have won 18 league titles, 11 of which came successively. Dinamo Zagreb have never been relegated to a lower tier of both Croatian and Yugoslav football.
Modri as they are called in Croatia are renowned for their impressive production line of youth footballers. Their highly organised football academy has so far produced world-class players such as Luka Modric, Mateo Kovacic, Marko Pjaca and many others. Dinamo Zagreb play their home matches at the Stadion Maksimir in front of 35,000 people.
The club lacked support during the last couple of seasons due to fans’ disagreement with club management, most notably notorious Zdravko Mamic, who is under investigation for long-lasting corruption, tax evasion and embezzlement. For the first time since 2015, Dinamo Zagreb will have the full support of their most faithful supporters in the Champions League.
