Valur Reykjavik vs GNK Dinamo Zagreb Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Champions League Predictions
Dinamo Zagreb’s season started on a high with the team beating Iceland side Valur 3-2 in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League first qualifying round clash. They will be out to finish the job in Reykjavik though conceding two late goals could come to haunt them. Valur’s season is already on and they are having a good run domestically, which they will hope to carry on to Europe but they have to go past the Croatian opponents here. In their last four matches, Valur have scored two goals in three; they have scored in all the five matches and kept three clean sheets. In their last 24 home matches, Valur are unbeaten and two goals in two minutes in the first leg of this clash should convince them they can do this. They just need to target settling earlier, as in their last five matches, they’ve scored seven of eight goals in the second half. In seven Champions League matches, played between 2008 and now, Valur have managed one win and six losses. Their main concern is that in their last four Champions League matches, Valur have conceded two or more goals.
Dinamo Zagreb just played their first game of the season and had a late collapse that should worry them going to this game. In the final two minutes of their home match against Valur, they conceded two goals. The hosts may feel they have an advantage here but Dinamo Zagreb’s scoring run should place the visitors as favorites going into the game. They just need to sort the defensive lapses seen in the first leg. The visitors have scored in each of their last 13 competitive matches. In eight of their last 10 competitive matches, they’ve scored two or more goals. They’re unbeaten in their last five away matches in competitive action and won three of them.
