Dinamo Zagreb vs AEK Athens 15.08.2023 Prediction: UEFA Champions League qualification

Match Overview

Dinamo Zagreb face off against AEK Athens in the third round of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. This will be the first time that these two teams clash against each other, which will give a lot of context to it. The home team will feel that the crowd at the Stadion Maksimir will egg them on towards victory and further ahead in this competition.  

Key Highlights

AEK Athens, whose defenders are known to be extremely technical with their man-marking abilities, will feel that they can get the better of the Zagreb attackers. However, that is much easier said than done. Having scored ten goals in the last five matches that they have played, Zagreb's attackers will feel that they have been in a plush run of form.

Injury Report

Neither Dinamo Zagreb nor AEK Athens have any major injuries in their respective squads. This means that they can both select their best possible starting lineups for this game. It will aid them tremendously. 

Prediction

We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. Dinamo Zagreb, despite having won three out of the last five matches that they have played, will face stiff competition from AEK Athens, who have kept a clean sheet on four of the five occasions they last turned up. This will be a very closely contested game between these two teams.
