Dinamo Zagreb aim to build on a 4-0 win over Istra and given Genk's difficulties on the road, we predict that they will defeat Genk 2-1 in the Europa League 1/16 finals, first leg. Dinamo Zagreb welcome the return of Scott McKenna, who has recovered from the minor injury sustained in the defeat to Midtjylland. The Blues are in strong domestic form, averaging 2.17 PPG at home and winning four of their last five in Zagreb. Their attack is productive, scoring 2.50 goals per home match, backed by an expected goals of 1.92, while defensively they concede just 1.00 per game across all venues. With 67% home wins and only 33% clean sheets, their matches often carry goals but remain result-controlled.
Genk, on the other hand, head into Thursday's clash with a full squad and impressive momentum, unbeaten in five and boasting 2.00 PPG away. Their games are consistently open: 80% BTTS, 3.40 average goals per match, and zero failed-to-score outings this season. However, they concede 1.40 goals away, and their xGA jumps to 2.02, suggesting vulnerabilities when pressured by high-tempo attacking sides like Dinamo.
Considering Dinamo Zagreb's strong home form and Genk’s defensive struggles on the road, our prediction firmly points toward Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals as both teams average above 3.0 goals per match.
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 19 February 2026 at 17:45.
