Din. Zagreb vs FCSB Prediction & Betting Tips (22 January)

Capable of gaining 7 points during the first 6 days, Dinamo Zagreb is currently in 25th position in the standings and is therefore the first team virtually eliminated from this league phase. However, everything is still possible for this team which has the same number of points as the 23rd, Ludogorets. After starting with 2 successes against Fenerbahce 3-1 and Maccabi Tel Aviv 1-3 and a draw against Malmö 1-1, the Croatians lost their next 3 matches against Celta Vigo 0-3, Lille 4-0 and Bétis 1-3. At the same time, in the league, Dinamo peaks at the top of the standings halfway through the season. Last week, he was beaten by Hartberg 1-2 in a friendly match.

The FSCB, for its part, is in 27th place in this regular season with one point behind its opponent of the day. The Romanians won 2 wins against Go Ahead Eagles 0-1 and Feyenoord 4-3 on the last day for 4 defeats against Young Boys 0-2, Bologna 1-2, FC Basel 3-1 and against Red Star 1-0. Very disappointing in the championship, the Bucharest club is only in 9th position, 9 lengths behind the leader, after its last 2 successes won in December. Dinamo players will return to competition this weekend against Arges Pitesti. 

For Dinamo, long-term injured defenders Raul Torrente and Jakirovic, the most used Valincic and the usual replacement Mikic could still be missing as on the last day. For the moment, midfielder Ljubicic and striker Beljo are the only ones to have scored more than once in this Europa League. The second city is also the top scorer of this team in the championship with 8 goals ahead of Kulenovic (6 goals) and Hoxha (6 goals). Departing this winter, midfielders Sut and Edjouma will undoubtedly no longer be present in the squad for this trip. On top of that, defenders Popescu and Cercel are currently on the sidelines while new defensive recruit Duarte is uncertain.

Finally, striker Stoian is not registered for this competition. Author of 10 goals scored and 4 assists delivered this season in the league, midfielder Florin Tanase is by far the main offensive threat of this team. Also watch out for midfielder Darius Olaru (4 goals, 2 assists). No player on this team has scored more than once this season in the Europa League.
