Dinamo Zagreb vs FC Astana 25.07.2023 Prediction: UEFA Champions League qualification

Match Overview

Dinamo Zagreb will be keen on getting off to a good start in the second round of their UEFA Champions League qualification competition against FC Astana at the Stadion Maksimir on Tuesday. The home team will feel that they can impose their strengths upon the visiting side and force the latter to play out of their comfort zones. FC Astana have a few midfielders who patrol their box really well, and this will worry Dinamo.

Key Highlights

There have been a total of two games played between these teams in the past, both of which have been won by Dinamo Zagreb. FC Astana have never quite challenged the authority of Dinamo in the past, even when they have played at their home turf. What will worry Astana all the more is that they have not yet managed to get on the scoresheet against Dinamo in the past. Their attack has been fairly limited.

Injury Report

Both these teams will feel extremely glad that none of their players will be missing in action in this game here on Tuesday. This means that they will now be able to select their best possible starting lineups.

Prediction

In a curious turn of events, FC Astana have been unbeaten in all of the five matches that they have played in the recent past whereas Dinamo come into this game on the back of a stunning defeat in the hands of Hajduk. So, although form is on the side of FC Astana, history favours Dinamo. This will be an interesting game on Tuesday for sure. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this match.
