Our football match prediction:
FC Spartak Trnava
Match Time & Date:
25/10/2018
17:55 GMT
Prediction: 1-1
Dinamo Zagreb
Spartak Trnava failed to book their place in the Champions League group stages, but they produce fine displays in the Europa League. The Slovak side kicked off their Europa League campaign in style, with the team beating Anderlecht 1-0 in front of home fans, but Fenerbahce proved to be a big catch for them in Istanbul. Spartak Trnava are likely to rely on their solid defence in Thursday’s football match, therefore, we believe fans will see a low-scoring affair at City Arena Trnava. Dinamo Zagreb, on the other hand, did well to roll over Fenerbahce 4-1 in the opening match of their Europa League campaign and, to make things even better for the fans, the Croatian champions outplayed Anderlecht in Brussels in their second group game. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards in Trnava and we predict that the two teams are going to share the spoils on Thursday evening.

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.
