Command Analysis

Dinamo Zagreb

Current form
Dinamo Zagreb has won the Croatian championship seven times in a row, but this season it can give away the championship title for the first time in a long time. The capital club occupies only the third place in the standings and is seven points behind the leading Rijeka. Hajduk, which occupies the second place, is ahead of the Zagreb team by five points. At the same time, Dynamo were very close to getting into the Champions League playoffs. In the last round, the team scored an unexpected 2-1 home victory over Milan, but finished one step away from the top 24, taking 25th place in the table. The reigning Croatian champion lost to Manchester City, Sporting and Brugge, who reached the playoffs, only in terms of additional indicators.
The year did not start well in the domestic championship for Fabio Cannavaro's players. After the home victory over Istria 1961 (3:1), a defeat against Osijek (1:2) followed.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bruno Petkovic, Petar Sucic and Ivan Nevistic will miss the match due to injuries. Kevin Theophile-Katrina has too many yellow cards.
Interesting betting trends
- In none of the last nine matches have the hosts played to zero
- The team has won its last three home matches.
Approximate line-up: Calvina - Torrente, Mmae, Ristovski - Franjic, Misic, Stojkovic, Pierre-Gabriel - Piazza, Baturina - Kanga

Sibenik

Current form
Sibenik is a newcomer to the top division, so it was immediately clear that it would not be so easy to maintain a residence permit in the elite. So far, the team is staying out of the relegation zone, but at any moment it can drop to the last line. Currently, the guests occupy the ninth place out of ten in the standings, only one point ahead of Gorica. Most likely, it is between these teams that the struggle for survival will unfold. After the January break, the newcomer is still avoiding defeats, but he hasn't managed to win either. The club drew first with Osijek (2:2), and then with Slaven (1:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Ivan Santini and Ivan Bojic will miss the game due to too many yellow cards. Tony Kolega and Leonard Zuta remain in the infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- In three of the last four matches, the guests were eliminated.
- In the last six rounds, the team has not won a single victory.
Approximate line-up: Diakovic - Nizhic, Cvek, Peric - Durakovic, Bakic, Precodravac, Kulusic - Laca, Zdunic - Delic

1.40Tip and bets
Despite all the problems, the hosts are still head and shoulders ahead of today's opponent. It is difficult for Sibenik to prove himself in the top league, especially when he has to play against rivals of the Dinamo Zagreb level. The reigning champion still has a chance to defend the title and after being relegated from the Champions League, this is Fabio Cannavaro's main task, so underestimating the opponent will certainly be avoided. We believe that there will be no fighting in this match.
Our forecast is an Asian handicap (-2) for Dinamo Zagreb at 1.70
Bet on the total
In terms of composition, the hosts are much superior to their rivals in the Croatian league. The team actively uses its advantage and remains the most productive participant in the championship. We think that even now the favorite's attack will prove itself, because Sibenik does not differ in reliable defense.
Our forecast is a total of more than 3.5 goals in 2.15
Betting on corners
Judging by what we described above, the game should be interesting and not boring. This means that there is a high probability that the opponents will make a lot of serves from the corner flag.
Our forecast is a total of more than 9.5 corners in 1.90
