Bayern Munich vs GNK Dinamo Zagreb Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Devesh Jaganath in Champions League Predictions
Champions League football will return to the Allianz Arena this week, when Bayern Munich lock horns with Dinamo Zagreb in the opening round of the competition on Tuesday night. The Bavarians earned their spot in the Champions League by finishing third in the Bundesliga last season, while the Blues won the 1. HNL title. Check out our match prediction below.
Bayern Munich experienced a rare trophyless season in 2023-24, as they saw their 11-year reign as the champions of the Bundesliga brought to an end by Bayer Leverkusen. Dinamo Zagreb, on the other hand, continued their dominance in the Croatian top flight, lifting their seventh consecutive 1. HNL crown.
Unsurprisingly, the Reds are showing up as massive favourites at the books, and with the new-look format of the Champions League, the hosts will know the importance of making the most of their home games during the League Phase. Let’s take a look at some of the key stats in this matchup.

Bayern Munich - GNK Dinamo Zagreb: Form Analysis
The 2023-24 campaign was a total write-off for Bayern Munich, as they ended their domestic league third for the first time since the 2010-11 season and only managed a semi-final appearance in this competition before bowing out to eventual winners Real Madrid 4-3 on aggregate.
However, the Bavarians have kicked off the new campaign positively, winning all three of their league matches to date, and they are currently the only team in the German top flight to have a perfect record after the first three games.
Additionally, the Reds have already netted a league-high 11 goals, six of which came in their victory over newly promoted Holstein Kiel on the road on Saturday evening.
Harry Kane has already scored four goals in the first three games of the new season!
Meanwhile, perennial Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb missed out on the Champions League last season as they were beaten in qualifying, but they did go on to reach the round of 16 in the Conference League.
This season, though, they made no mistake in booking their spot in Europe’s elite cup competition, beating Qarabag 5-0 on aggregate. However, since their second-leg match against the Azerbaijan outfit, the Blues have failed to win their last two games, drawing one and losing the most recent to Hadjuk Split.
These two sides met in the 2015-16 Champions League group stage and Bayern won both matches, 5-0 and home and 2-0 away.

Bayern Munich & GNK Dinamo Zagreb Squad Analysis
Bayern Munich's new boss Vincent Kompany announced Leroy Sane in his matchday squad for the first time this season last weekend and the attacker should be available for selection in this one.
In terms of injuries, new signing Hiroki Ito (foot), goalkeeper Daniel Peretz (muscle) and right-back Josip Stanisic are ruled out through injury, while Arijon Ibrahimovic and Tarek Buchmann are flagged as doubts.
Harry Kane was last season’s joint top scorer in the Champions League with eight goals!
Sergej Jakirovic is expected to shuffle his pack after their defeat in the Croatian ‘eternal derby’ which could see 24-year-old forward Sandro Kulenovic brought back into the starting 11 for this match.
As far as confirmed absentees are concerned, the visitors have almost a full squad available barring long-term injured players Sadegh Moharrami and Mauro Perkovic, both of whom are sidelined with serious knee injuries. and have yet to feature this season

Our Bayern Munich vs GNK Dinamo Zagreb Prediction
While Bayern Munich experienced a poor season by their own standard last time out, their record in Bavaria was formidable, losing only twice across all competitions, while maintaining an unbeaten record in the Champions League.
Dinamo Zagreb barely laid a glove on the Reds when they crossed paths in this competition previously and we feel they will struggle to contain the German giants in this one as well. Our Bayern Munich vs Dinamo Zagreb prediction: Handicap Bayern Munich -1.5!
