Dinamo Zagreb vs. Celta Vigo: Match Prediction
Dinamo is traditionally known for their resilience and remains unbeaten in this Europa League season. After the first three rounds, Mario Kovačević's side has accumulated seven out of a possible nine points. Overall, the Croatians have only one loss in their last six matches in this competition. At home, the team is particularly strong: Dinamo is unbeaten in their last five Europa League home games, winning four of those encounters.
Celta also shows decent form, having won two of their last three Europa League matches this season. However, it's important to note that both victories were secured at home. Their only away match ended in defeat, which is not surprising, as away games are generally more challenging for the Spaniards. Playing away, Celta has won only three of their last 12 Europa League matches (five draws, four losses).
Prediction – Dinamo Zagreb to win or draw
