We will have somewhat of a Balkan derby here, even though this could be stretching it a bit. What is without a doubt is the fact that Dinamo and PAOK are solid teams who are in good form. Both have a fantastic chance to progress to the next stage and I am sure they will be looking to make the most of it.
Dinamo Zagreb Team News
Dinamo fought two incredibly hard battles against Real Betis and managed to eliminate the Spaniards after a 0-1 away victory in Spain and a 1-1 draw in Croatia. This feat added to an already impressive run of games in which Dinamo are undefeated. To be more precise – the team is undefeated in their last 9 competitive games. Usually wins for the Croatian team come with few goals as in these 9 competitive games, 3 of Dinamo’s wins came with 1-0. Looking at the last 5 home games for the team we will see 4 wins to nil, with the only conceded goal coming in their 1-1 draw with Betis. Dinamo barely managed to get out of their group in the Conference League after recording 3 wins and 3 losses.
PAOK Team News
Despite suffering a crushing 1-4 defeat to Olympiacos recently, PAOK managed to pick themselves up in the following games by securing 3 consecutive victories in the league. More impressive for the team might be the fact that they managed to score at least 1 goal in all of their last 5 competitive games, even going as far as scoring at least 2 goals in their last 3 such games. European form for the team can give them confidence, as PAOK finished first in their Europa Conference League group. They scored at least 2 goals in all of their group-stage fixtures and also conceded at least one goal in the meantime.
Head-to-Head-Games
Dinamo and PAOK met in the 2010 Europa League group stage. The Greeks won both games with 1-0 and eventually managed to progress to the knockout stage after finishing second. Dinamo finished third and was eliminated.
Dinamo Zagreb – PAOK Betting Prediction
Dinamo is a team that scores regularly at home and seldom concedes. However, PAOK are a team that scores goals a lot but also concedes regularly. Their group stage form attests to that and Dinamo’s recent form and result also show their hardiness. In a historical sense, the Croatian team has never scored against PAOK. I believe that the recent form of these two teams is a good argument to pick both teams to score here. Additionally, the only goal Dinamo conceded in their last 5 home games was in their European battle against Betis.
