GNK Dinamo Zagreb vs Valur Reykjavik Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Nella Wagah in Champions League Predictions
Dinamo Zagreb’s first game of the season is a UEFA Champions League first qualifying round clash against Valur from Iceland. The Croatian side had an impressive run in the Europa League last season and will hope to go all the way to the Champions League group stages this time. They are coming from three friendly matches, after last playing competitively in the third week of May. They’ve been impressive in their preseason friendly matches, scoring two goals or more in each one of them and in the process stretching their unbeaten run to 14 matches. The last time Dinamo Zagreb lost a game was in Europe – a loss to eventual Europa League winners Villarreal. In their last eight home matches, they have seven wins and a draw. They are definitely more experienced than Valur in European competitions and will be favorites here.
Valur go into this game unbeaten in their last five matches, winning four and drawing one, while they have conceded only two goals in the five matches and scored two or more goals in three. This will be their seventh Champions League game in history; in the last six, they’ve lost five and failed to score in each of those lost matches. Their only win, and goal in the Champions League came in a 1-0 victory over Rosengborg back in 2018. In their last 10 away matches, Valur have managed just three clean sheets and three of the last four have seen over 2.5 goals scored.
