Bayern Munich - GNK Dinamo Zagreb: Form Analysis

Bayern Munich are untouchable at the start of the season! Leaders of the German league, the Bavarian club are on an 8-match winning streak in all competitions since the end of July. Triumphant over Ilm (0-4) in the German Cup on August 16, the six-time Champions League winners have won all their league matches (3) and scored 11 goals in three rounds, at Wolfsburg (2-3), against Freiburg (2-0) and at Holstein Kiel (1-6) on Saturday.

Dinamo Zagreb, for their part, have been on a 3-game winless run and, since drawing at Rijeka (1-1) on September 1, have just lost their last two HNL games at Trnje (2-1) and against Hajduk Split (0-1) on Friday. The Croatian club, 3rd in their league, have lost 5 of their last 10 Champions League matches (qualifying and group stages) since August 17, 2021.

Bayern Munich & GNK Dinamo Zagreb Squad Analysis

Bayern Munich will play without Buchmann (muscle injury), Ibrahimovic (muscle injury), Ito (foot), Sane (groin) and Stanisic (knee). Israeli Peretz (hip) remains doubtful. Dinamo Zagreb, meanwhile, are missing Peric (knee) and Perkovic (knee). Iranian Moharrami (knee) remains doubtful for the trip to Germany.

Having enjoyed a fine 2023-2024 season, scoring 44 goals in 46 official matches for Bavaria, the English international striker has made an excellent start to the new campaign. Indeed, the former Spurs striker has just scored 5 goals in 4 official matches for Bayern (German Cup and Bundesliga), but above all scored 5 goals in his last two appearances for England against Finland (2-0, double) on September 10 and at Holstein Kiel (1-6, hat-trick) on September 14 in the Bundesliga.

Croatian striker Sandro Kulenovic (24) is on fire with his club Dinamo Zagreb, having scored 7 goals in 8 official matches since the start of the 2024-2025 season. He scored twice in the Champions League qualifier against Qarabag.

Our Bayern Munich vs GNK Dinamo Zagreb Prediction

This opening UCL fixture against a Dinamo Zagreb team that may well be one of the comeptition's punching bags, is a fantastic opportunity for all manner of Bayern players to thrive, but one player in particularl who ought to be licking his lips at facing lowly opposition is Michael Olise, who will be keen to add to the goal he scored for his new team at the weekend. If he starts here, the tricky winger is likely to cut in and cause the visitors lots of problems, so much so that he looks a decent bet to find the net at odds of +190. After all, his stats, as shown above, already look good. Our Pick: Michael Olise to Score.
