Slovan Bratislava In the last round, Vladimir Weiss's charges lost away to Spanish Girona with a score of 0:2. As a result, Slovan lost their third consecutive Champions League match for the first time in their history in the tournament. Without a single point in the group stage, the team occupies the last place in the tournament table, having the worst goal difference (-10). Forward Adler will miss the game due to injury. The team won in regular time in 4 out of the last 5 home meetings in the Champions League. The club scored within 90 minutes in 8 out of 9 previous home encounters in this European competition. At least three goals were scored in regular time in 6 out of the last 7 home matches of the Slovaks in the UCL. Dinamo Zagreb Nenad Bjelica's men won their last round away against Austrian Salzburg with a score of 2:0. This was Dinamo's first victory in the current Champions League group stage, and it allowed the team to move into the playoff zone in the tournament table (22nd place). It's worth noting that the Croatians have already conceded 11 goals in three rounds and are among the three worst teams in this regard, along with Slovan and Red Star. The club did not lose in regular time in 4 out of the last 5 away matches in the UCL (3 wins, 1 draw). No less than three goals were scored within 90 minutes in 5 out of the last 7 away team encounters in the Champions League. The number '2' was in the score by the end of regular time in the last 6 away matches of the Croatians in this European cup. Slovan Bratislava vs Dinamo Zagreb: Match Prediction Even at home, the Slovaks are not known for their reliable defensive play. Even in the qualifying rounds, where the level of opponents is lower, Slovan regularly conceded goals. In 7 out of the last 9 Champions League matches, the team failed to keep a clean sheet in regular time, and on six occasions during this period, the club's net was hit with at least two goals within 90 minutes. In particular, Bratislava conceded two goals each from Macedonian Struga and Bosnian Zrinjski. The Croatians, on the other hand, are vividly demonstrating their attacking prowess, regularly hitting the opponents' net with a large number of goals. In all of this season's UCL matches, including the qualification duel with Qarabag, the Zagreb players scored at least two goals in regular time. Even in their disastrous match against Bayern, Dinamo managed to score twice. Additionally, in each of the last five away matches in the Champions League, the Croatians scored exactly two goals within 90 minutes. I believe that Slovan's defensive line will not cope with the attacking power of the opponent. I expect at least two goals from Nenad Bjelica's charges, so my prediction is: "Dinamo Zagreb Over 1.5 Team Goals" with odds of 1.90. Author: Dmitry Shchurko
