Our prediction for this Europa League match:
Dinamo Zagreb
Match Time & Date:
25/02/2021
03:00 PM
Prediction: 2-0
Krasnodar
There will be fireworks when Dinamo Zagreb and Krasnodar face each other in the Europa League last 32, return leg. Dinamo Zagreb did well to beat Krasnodar 3-2 in Russia, and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their fifth consecutive win in all competitions. The Croatian champions are with one foot in the Europa League last 16, but they should not be written off just yet.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Bruno Petkovic, who scored a brace in the first leg. Krasnodar, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Sochi in the Russian Cup, and given their shaky defence, we predict that Dinamo Zagreb are going to give fans yet another reason for celebration on Thursday evening. The Croatians recorded five wins in the previous six home games in the Europa League.
Highlighted Player (Kévin Théophile-Catherine):
Born in Saint-Brieuc, France, on October 28, 1989, Kevin Theophile-Catherine is a defender who plays for Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb. Theophile-Catherine started his youth career at Rennes and he continued playing for les Rouges et Noirs at senior level.
After scoring two goals in 98 appearances for the club from 2009 to 2013, he moved to Cardiff City in the 2013/2014 season, signing a four-year contract with the Bluebirds. After ending his loan spell with Saint-Etienne, he signed a permanent deal with les Verts in 2015 for a fee of £1.5 million.
The Dinamo Zagreb footballer has one cap with France U21 team, while making four appearances for the U20 team. His main position is centre-back, but he is capable of playing as both right and left back as well. His preferred foot is right and his contract with Dinamo Zagreb should expire on June 30, 2020. Theophile-Catherine made his debut for Dinamo Zagreb in a 2-1 win over Osijek on August 17, 2018.
Highlighted Team (Krasnodar):
Krasnodar are one of several Russian clubs that were founded in the 21st century (2008). The Byki were promoted to the Russian Premier League in 2011 and they were playing under Serbian tactician Slavoljub Muslin back then. Krasnodar finished the 2014/2015 season in third place in the standings and that is regarded as the club’s biggest success.
The club’s biggest rivals are Kuban Krasnodar and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other in the local derby. The Bulls participated in the 2015/2016 Europa League group stages and it has to be noted that they managed to beat star-studded Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund in front of home fans.
However, they failed to make life difficult for Sparta Prague in the last 32, losing 4-0 to the Czech outfit on aggregate. Krasnodar play their home matches at Krasnodar Stadium, the venue that was built in 2016. The capacity of the stadium is 33,000.
