Midtjylland vs Din. Zagreb Prediction & Betting Tips (29 January)

Nice surprise from this Europa League, Midtjylland is currently 4th and is 2 points ahead of 9th place, which would force it to participate in the play-offs. Confident of their strength, the Danes only lost at Roma 2-1. Held to a draw at Brann last week 3-3, they otherwise won against Sturm Graz 2-0, Nottingham Forest 2-3, Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-3, Celtic 3-1 and Genk 1-0. In its championship which has been on hiatus since the beginning of December, Midtjylland now occupies 2nd place with 4 units of spending on the leader. The championship will resume in 10 days. 20th in the Europa League with 4 points behind the Top 8 and 3 ahead of 25th place, Dinamo Zagreb can no longer hope to reach the round of 16 directly but finds itself in a very favorable position to compete in the play-offs.

Authors of a good start to the campaign with 2 victories and 1 draw, Mario Kovacevic's men then marked time with three defeats against Celta Vigo 0-3, Lille 4-0 and Bétis 1-3. They took advantage of the FCSB reception last week to revive 4-1. On the national scene, Dinamo Zagreb takes the lead in its championship with 4 lengths ahead of its runner-up. After the winter break, the Croatian championship resumed last weekend with a big victory in Osijek 0-3. 

For Midtjylland, we must mention the suspension of midfielder Billing, who received a new yellow card on the last day. Added to this are the withdrawals of attackers Brynhildsen and Franculino (16 league goals) as well as defender Gabriel. The absence of Franculino (16 goals in the league, 3 goals in C3) is a big blow for this team. In the offensive sector, we could still find Cho (3 goals in the league) and Junior Brumado (1 goal in the league). The latter scored against Brann as did the important defender Erlic. Also note the presence of Turkish winger Simsir (5 goals and 11 assists in the league) and Danish midfielder Byskov (5 goals in the league).

This week, Dinamo Zagreb must do without defenders Torrente and Valincic but also striker Lisica. Furthermore, Algerian midfielder Bennacer is not qualified for this Europa League. On the attacking front, we should find the captain Beljo (9 goals in the league, 4 goals in C3), who has scored in the last four matches played in all competitions. Wingers Hoxha (6 goals and 3 assists in the league) and Bakrar (5 goals and 2 assists in the league, 2 goals in C3) are available, as is playmaker Zajc (3 goals and 4 assists in the league) and supersub Kulenovic (6 goals in the league).
