Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Atalanta
Match Time & Date:
26/11/2019
03:00 PM
Prediction: 2-2
Dinamo Zagreb
Atalanta will be looking to get their revenge on Dinamo Zagreb for a heavy 4-0 loss at Stadion Maksimir when the two teams face each other at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in Milano. The Orobici have collected only one point from possible 12 in Group C, but they are surely capable of making life difficult for the Croatian champions in Milano. The Serie A outfit proved their worth in a 1-1 draw with Man City, and we are positive that they will at least find the net in their penultimate group game.
The Croats, on the other hand, are eyeing a place in the Champions League last 16. Since Shakhtar Donetsk take on Man City at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday evening, we believe that the visitors would be happy with one point from the match. Anyhow, given Dinamo Zagreb’s attacking potential, both teams to score bet should be considered.
Highlighted Player (Simon Kjaer):
Simon Kjaer began his senior career at FC Midtjylland and in 2008 he moved to Italy, signing a deal with Palermo. The Danish footballer scored his first goal for Palermo on 2 November in a 3-0 victory over Chievo Verona.
After making 62 league appearances for the Sicilian outfit he joined Wolfsburg on 30 June, 2010, playing 57 games in the Bundesliga with the Wolves. After ending his loan spell with Roma, the Danish defenders returns to Woflsburg and on 5 July, 2013 he moved to Lille.
The 189-cm-tall footballer, who was born in Horsens, Denmark on 16 March, 1989, signed a four-year deal with Fenerbahce on 16 June, 2015 for a fee of €7.65 million. Simon Kjaer was named Danish U19 Player of the Year in 2007 and he has 10 caps for the Denmark U19 team. The Fenerbahce defender played for Denmark at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa and he started the games against Netherlands and Cameroon in the group stages of the showpiece tournament.
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.
