Dinamo Zagreb enters this encounter with a solid recent record, unbeaten in their last four matches. While their overall home performances have been inconsistent, they have shown flashes of brilliance in the Champions League. Wins against strong opponents at Stadion Maksimir demonstrate their potential to upset Dortmund.

Key players like Luka Ivanušec and Arijan Ademi will be instrumental in controlling the midfield and creating opportunities. Dinamo’s defense, led by Rasmus Lauritsen, will need to stay disciplined to keep Dortmund’s attackers at bay.

Dortmund’s Quest for Improvement

Borussia Dortmund is under pressure to secure a win after struggling in away matches this season. With six consecutive losses on the road, their form has been a concern. However, the attacking prowess of Serhou Guirassy, who has scored nine goals this season, provides hope for a turnaround.

Dortmund’s midfield, led by Julian Brandt and Felix Nmecha, will need to dominate possession and supply their forwards with quality chances. Defensive stability will also be key to overcoming Dinamo’s counterattacks.

Key Stats to Watch

  • Dinamo Zagreb has scored in three of their last four home matches in all competitions.
  • Dortmund has conceded in all their away games this season, with an average of two goals per match.
  • Both teams have scored in four of their last five Champions League games.

What to Expect

Dinamo will aim to exploit Dortmund’s poor away form and use their home crowd to their advantage. Dortmund, meanwhile, must find a way to overcome their defensive vulnerabilities and capitalize on scoring opportunities.
