Prediction: 1-1
PAOK
Stands at Stadion Maksimir will be shaking when Dinamo Zagreb and PAOK take on each other in the first leg of the Conference League last 16, first leg. The Croatian champions set up a meeting with PAOK by shocking Real Betis in the double-header and, no doubt, they are capable of claiming yet another major scalp in the process. Keep in mind, though, that all Sadegh Moharrami, Mahir Emreli, Josip Drmic, and Marko Rog remain in the recovery room.
The Eagles, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Greek Super League ahead of the trip to Zagreb. Dinamo and PAOK seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that they are going to share the spoils in Thursday’s showdown. As for the visitors, Mbwana Samatta limped off with injury in a 2-0 win over Lamia, with Brandon Thomas likely to step up.
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.
