Slovan Bratislava vs Dinamo Zagreb

, KO: 18:45 Nov 5, 2024, Stadion Tehelne Pole
Dinamo Zagreb

Slovan Bratislava host Dinamo Zagreb in a UEFA Champions League fixture on Tuesday as they continue the search for their first win in the competition. Zagreb have shown some quality in the competition and should have too much for the Serbians, who appear out of their depth among Europe's elite.

It has been a rough Champions League campaign for Slovan Bratislava, who have lost all three of their matches so far. Vladimir Weiss’ men were beaten 2-0 by Girona last time out while their previous home fixture was a 4-0 defeat to Manchester City.

Beyond their Champions League struggles, Slovan Bratislava’s form has been decent, winning four of their last five matches across all competitions. However, their home form is a bit suspect, with just one win from their last four matches in front of their fans.

Dinamo Zagreb’s Champions League campaign appears to be getting better as the competition progresses. After suffering a 9-2 defeat at Bayern Munich, they followed up with a 2-2 draw with Monaco before claiming a 2-0 victory at Salzburg last time out.

Things have been generally good for Dinamo Zagreb in recent weeks as they are currently on an eight match unbeaten run across all competitions. Nenad Bjelica’s men have been particularly impressive on their travels and are unbeaten in their last five away matches, claiming four wins in that run.

How the bookies view it: Smooth ride for Dinamo

Dinamo Zagreb have been installed as overwhelming favourites among the bookies and are priced at evens by Betfred to claim the win. Slovan Bratislava are considered outsiders, with a home win valued at 13/5 by Betfred, who is also offering odds of 13/5 for a draw.

Head to head: Visitors have the advantage

Dinamo Zagreb have never lost to Slovan Bratislava, claiming one win and two draws from three previous matches. The last meeting was a 2-2 draw in a friendly back in 2017.

Players to watch: Watch out for Kulenovic

Sandro Kulenovic has been one of the standout players for Dinamo Zagreb this season, with 12 goals across all competitions. The forward has found the net four times in the last four matches and is priced at 2/1 by Betfred to maintain his scoring run.

Slovan Bratislava will need their attackers to come good if they are to jump-start their campaign. They will look to David Strelec, who has nine goals across all competitions this season and is priced at 3/1 by Betfred to find the net on Tuesday.

Probable line-ups

Marko Tolic was a halftime substitute for Slovan Bratislava last weekend and could be set for a start on Tuesday. Alen Mustafic should continue in midfield while Guram Kashia is set to feature at the back.

Lukas Kacavenda could be handed a start in midfield for Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday after coming off the bench at the weekend. Kulenovic should lead the line once again while Raul Torrente is set to continue at the back.

Slovan Bratislava: Takac, Blackman, Kashia, Voet, Vojtko, Barseghyan, Mustafic, Savvidis, Marcelli, Tolic, Strelec
Dinamo Zagreb: Zagorac, Ristovski, Theophile-Caterine, Torrente, Ogiwara, Sucic, Kacavenda, Spikic, Rog, Pjaca, Kulenovic
