In the framework of the Europa League group stage match, the players of Rapid and Dinamo Zagreb will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this match.
"Rapid"
Rapid's players had an extremely unsuccessful start in the group stage of the league. The Austrian team has not been able to score points yet and is in last place in its group. In the first round, the team from Vienna lost to the Belgian "Genk" (0:1), conceding the only goal a couple of minutes before the final whistle. At the end of last month, Rapid quite predictably lost to West Ham in London with a score of 0:2.
Dinamo Zagreb
Dinamo Zagreb is on the second line in its group, ahead of Genk in additional indicators. At the same time, the gap from West Ham is three points. In the opening match of the tournament, the Croatian team played on their own field with the Londoners, to whom they lost with a score of 0:2. And already in the next match, Dynamo defeated Genk on the road with a score of 3:0, showing football of good content.
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Injuries:
- Streibinger (muscle injury), Schulzbacher (injury), Schuster (muscle injury) - all "Rapid". Peric (muscle injury) – Dinamo Zagreb.
- Under question:
- Dibon (knee), Petrovich (ankle) - all Rapid.
Statistics and figures:
- Rivals have approximately equal chances to win;
- Rapid has not lost in the last 2 meetings;
- Dynamo has 4 wins in 5 previous matches;
- The rivals met each other 2 times;
- Both matches ended in a draw.
Forecast
Even though the rivals met each other twice, but these duels were back in 1971. Then the opponents painted draws. At the same time, I assume that the Croats, who show a more holistic football, will not be able to lose again. This will bring the team a victory with a zero handicap in the upcoming confrontation.
