D. Zagreb vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting Tips (27 November)

Not really expected to come and bother the big names, Dinamo Zagreb on the other hand has a card to play in trying to get into the top 24 and thus participate in the play-off for the round of 16. At the start of this J5, the Croatians are 16th in the standings with 7 points, just 2 points behind the Germans who will travel this evening. Zagreb won its last two matches in C1 against Slovan Bratislava, an opponent clearly within its reach 1-4, and against Red Bull Salzburg, once again on the road 0-2. We will still remember that after two matches played in this Champions League, Dinamo only had one point on the clock following its big defeat on Munich soil against Bayern 9-2 and sharing the points with Monaco during of J2 2-2. In the championship, the locals are in the top 3 and will have tried to regain victory for the arrival of Rijeka, runner-up in the ranking last weekend to follow, following their parity score just before the break on the pitch of Gorica 2 -2.Finalist of this Champions League , Borussia Dortmund remains a candidate not to be overlooked in this type of event.

It's true that we're not necessarily waiting for BVB to get this new format of the Champions but like every time in the end, and last year, in a group made up of AC Milan, Newcastle, and Paris SG, no one thought they would see him finish first and thus go to Wembley, eliminating PSG in the semi-final at the same time. We must be wary of standing water, and currently, water is not drinkable on the move for the Germans who are absolutely unreliable when it comes to traveling on the road. All competitions combined, the bees remain on six successive defeats including an elimination from the German Cup on the Wolfsburg turf 1-0 after extra time without forgetting an express comeback at the Berbabéu against Real Madrid in Champions 0-2 at the MT, 5-2 defeat or even a victory in Stuttgart 5-1, and recently, a setback in Mainz before the international break 3-1. In this Champions League , after four days, Borussia has 9 points, three successes gleaned against Club Bruges 0-3, against Celtic at home 7-1, and on the smallest score for the reception of the Sturm Graz 1-0. In short, adversaries not even considered challengers.

Absent during the trip to Slovan Bratislava, the starting goalkeeper Nevistic is not certain of playing again this evening. Used off the bench, the Colombian Juan Cordoba was not on the match sheet in the league before the break, due to back problems (potentially absent this evening). Author of 3 goals in this CL, striker Sandro Kulenovic (8 pawns in 13 appearances in the league) will be well operational and one of the main assets of this Croatian team on the attacking front. In the Croatian selection in October, Petkovic (3 goals, 2 assists in the league) was not called up by Dalic for the recent break (return from injury).  The German infirmary is full to bursting.

Let's start with the injuries of the important Adeyemi (3 goals in C1), the Belgian crack Duranville, the starting goalkeeper Köbel, without forgetting the American crack Reyna, or the central Süle, and Anton, who literally weighed down his team during the 2nd period against Real Madrid. Sahin, for his first experience at BVB, is clearly singled out for the club's results but he can always request the presence of Brandt (3 assists in the Bundesliga), Nmecha, Gittens (3 pawns in C1), Malen, or even Guirassy (6 goals, 1 assist in 8 appearances in BL). Let's not forget the returns to competition just before the break of the very strong defender Ryerson, or even Yann Couto (on loan from Man City for the season).
