GNK Dinamo Zagreb vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Devesh Jaganath in Champions League Predictions
Matchday five in the UEFA Champions League will take us to the Stadion Maksimir on Wednesday night when Dinamo Zagreb will play host to Borussia Dortmund. Modri are 16th in the League Phase standings while Die Schwarzgelben are eighth after the first four rounds of matches. Let’s get into the match prediction.
These two sides have never previously met in this competition, but Dinamo Zagreb have a very poor record against German opposition in Europe, having lost all seven previous matchups. They have scored six goals and conceded 25 during that period, including a 9-2 hammering by Bayern Munich earlier this season. BVB have never faced a Croatian side in any European competition.
Bookies have made the visitors the out-and-out favourites in this contest but it's the hosts that have won their last two in this competition coming into this match. Let’s take a look at some other important stats.

GNK Dinamo Zagreb - Borussia Dortmund: Form Analysis
Indeed, Dinamo Zagreb will be full of confidence entering this match, having taken seven points from their last three games in the Champions League since losing to the Bavarians on opening week.
Notably, Purgeri have scored two or more goals in each of their four matches in this competition - all of which were from open play. Only Barcelona have scored more this season from open play than them.
However, since beating Slovan Bratislava on matchday four, the hosts have drawn their last two league matches, though they have only tasted defeat in one of their last 11 in all competitions.
Dinamo Zagreb’s two wins are as many as they have won in their previous 25 matches in this competition!
Meanwhile, Borussia Dortmund beat Sturm Graz 1-0 in their last Champions League match, marking their third victory in the competition, while their only defeat was away to Real Madrid.
BVB have already scored a very impressive 13 goals over the first four matchdays which sees them enter this week as the second-highest scoring team in the competition behind Barcelona (15).
Dortmund have won six of their last eight Champions League matches since last season, and their two losses in that period were both against Los Blancos.
However, the visitors have lost their last six away games across all competitions leading up to this match.

GNK Dinamo Zagreb & Borussia Dortmund Squad Analysis
Dinamo Zagreb were dealt a major injury blow last week, with rising star Petar Sucic sustaining a metatarsal fracture. The club confirmed that he will be out of action until the New Year.
Juan Cordoba is suffering from a knee injury and is only expected to return to the squad next month, while Bruno Petkovic is flagged as a doubt owing to a muscle strain.
Gio Reyna returned after a two-month injury absence at the weekend and could start this match!
However, Reyna is not the only player to return from the sidelines this month, as Nuri Sahin has also welcomed Gregor Kobel, Julien Duranville, Waldemar Anton and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens back from injuries.
Thus, the only confirmed absentees for the visitors this week are Karim Adeyemi (muscle), Niklas Sule (ankle) and 18-year-old midfielder Kjell Watjen (muscle).
Emre Can will be eligible to play this match as his red card ban is only applicable to domestic matches.
