Command Analysis

Dinamo Zagreb

Current form
Dynamo suffered a crushing 2:9 defeat to Bayern in Munich at the start of the Champions League. After that failure, the management changed the coach. With the arrival of Nenad Bjelica, the Croatians have noticeably improved on the international stage, but in the national championship the situation is not the most joyful for fans yet. In the national championship, Dynamo are only in third place with 25 points. Rijeka is ahead by one point, the leader Hajduk has an advantage of three points. In the last round, Dynamo had an important home match against Rijeka, in which the opponents did not score (0:0).
In the Champions League, Nenad Bjelica men are, so to speak, giving their best. After the defeat to Bayern, the team has not lost, has seven points and has a good chance of a place in the playoffs. Let us recall that under the leadership of the new coach, Dynamo tied with Monaco on their home field (2:2) and won away against Salzburg (2:0) and Slovan (3:1). Let us note that Dynamo attack is showing great results - in all four matches in the Champions League, the team scored goals, and invariably at least twice.
There will undoubtedly be hope for the home field factor today, especially given Borussia poor away performances. At the same time, the fact that key midfielder Petar Sučić is injured is alarming.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sucic and Petkovic will not play today due to injuries. The appearance of Nevistic and Misic is questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- In the two previous matches involving Dynamo, the first half ended in a draw
- The Croatians have not lost in 12 of their last 14 Champions League matches at home
- In eight of the previous ten home matches in the LS involving Dynamo, at least three goals were scored
Estimated line-up: Zagorac – Ristovski, Theophile-Catherine, Torrente, Pierre-Gabriel – Ademi, Rog – Spikic, Baturina, Pjaca – Kulenovic.

Borussia Dortmund

Current form
Borussia has proven itself to be a purely home team since the start of the season. Taking into account all tournaments, the Dortmund team has won eight out of eight matches at its home arena. At the same time, the away results, as for a contender for the highest places, are very modest - only two victories in nine matches played.
Nevertheless, in the Bundesliga, Dortmund are in fifth place with 19 points after 11 rounds and are only four points behind second-placed Eintracht. In their last home game, https://www.bvb.de target=_blank rel=noopener>Borussia left Freiburg with no chance (4:0).
In the Champions League, Nuri Sahin men have collected nine points in four rounds and have a good chance of finishing in the top 8. Borussia only slip-up was in the away match in Madrid against Real. Then the "bumblebees" were leading 2:0, but "fell apart" after the break and lost 2:5. The team won all other matches against inferior opponents. Let us recall that they managed to beat Brugge (3:0), Celtic (7:2) and Sturm (1:0). It is very important to take three points today, as they have a game against Barcelona ahead.
Disqualifications and injuries
Zule, Vetienne and Adeyemi will not play today due to injuries. Guirassy is ill and his appearance on the field is in question.
Interesting trends for betting
- In three of their last five matches, Borussia have drawn in the first half
- Dortmund have gone unbeaten in five of their previous seven away matches in the Champions League
- In six of the last seven matches of the "bumblebees" in the Champions League, at least one of the teams did not score
Estimated line-up: Kobel – Ruerson, Anton, Schlotterbeck, Couto – Sabitzer, Can, Brandt – Malen, Bayer, Gittens.

2.30Tip and bets
Dynamo did not have the most difficult schedule in the last rounds of the Champions League, but their seven points should not be overestimated. Today they will have to play against an opponent of a different caliber. Borussia, even taking into account their regular away failures in the Bundesliga, have failed only with Real Madrid on the European stage. The visitors have a certain advantage in class. Plus, the hosts will have to play without key midfielder Petar Sučić. We believe that the favorite will score three points today.
Our prediction is a Borussia win with an Asian handicap (-1) at odds of 2.10
Bet on total
Dynamo scored goals in all Champions League matches. It is unlikely that this series will be interrupted today, given the not very reliable actions of the Bumblebees in defense in away matches. At the same time, it will be unrealistic for the Croatians to remain without conceding goals, given the powerful attack of the opponent. In this pair, a bet on an exchange of scored goals suggests itself.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.60
Bet on the exact difference in the score
Due to their class advantage, Borussia is now capable of securing a comfortable victory with a difference of more than one goal. Moreover, Dynamo defense is not particularly reliable in matches against top opponents.
Prediction: Borussia win by two or three goals with odds of 3.30
