Prediction: 2-1
Bodo Glimt
Dinamo Zagreb will look to build on a thrilling 5-2 win over Osijek when they take on Bodo in the Champions League playoffs, return leg. Dinamo Zagreb have been scoring goals for fun of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Bodo. Bruno Petkovic, who missed a golden opportunity to score late equalizer in a 1-0 loss to Bodo, should continue to lead the line for the hosts, while fit-again defender Kevin Theophile-Catherine is likely to play some part in Wednesday’s clash.
The Norwegian champions, on the other hand, are on a quest to defend their slim lead in the reverse fixture. Bodo proved their worth in the first leg, but beating Dinamo at packed Stadion Maksimir is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the winner will be the decided after extra-time. A man to watch in the away team will be Amahl Pellegrino, who is enjoying a season to remember, while all Fet, Konradsen, Sery Larsen, and Solbakken should miss out with injuries.
