Salzburg - GNK Dinamo Zagreb: Form Analysis
Salzburg have their place among the eight teams yet to win a Champions League game at this stage of the competition. They haven't even scored a goal in their two matches.
The hosts started their campaign with a 3-0 loss to Sparta Prague then they were thrashed 4-0 at home by Brest. In light of these heavy defeats, Salzburg’s chances of qualifying to the next stage are at an all time low.
In the group/league phase, Salzburg have one of the poorest records this season, they haven't won at that stage in the last five home matches, losing all. In four of the five matches, they conceded two or more goals, and they failed to score in three.
Both Dinamo Zagreb and Salzburg are winless in the league phase of the competition.
In their trip to Austria, Dinamo Zagreb will play their third straight match away from home. They drew 2-2 with Istra 1961 in their last. That result marked a fifth straight undefeated outing for the Croats, who have three wins in that run.
However, they managed just one clean sheet in the five matches. The visitors have recovered from a run of four straight defeats, but the 9-2 loss to Bayern Munich on Match Day 1 rings loud.
They did much better on Match Day 2, but should have fought for more than just the 2-2 draw with Monaco. Dinamo Zagreb went into a 2-0 lead at home, with 24 minutes to go but conceded a late penalty that turned costly as they lost two points.

Salzburg & GNK Dinamo Zagreb Squad Analysis
As both teams are struggling at the back, there will be particular attention on the defenders. Salzburg have a big boost in the return of Amar Dedic, who made a substitute appearance over the weekend.
He will be expected to start here. Meanwhile there isn’t much positive news on the injuries, with Takumu Kawamura, Dorgeles Nene, Peter Ratkov and Yao Moussa all nursing injuries.
Bruno Petkovic’s availability will be crucial for this Dinamo Zagreb side.
At Dinamo Zagreb, the biggest news is of Bruno Petkovic’s return to the fold after injury. The forward featured in the final stages of their weekend match and should have enough to play a part in this game.
In his absence, Sandro Kulenovic has held the attack well, scoring six times in 10 league matches. The visitors will be without their coach Nenad Bjelic, who is serving a one match ban.
