Dinamo Zagreb have one last hurdle to negotiate before the UEFA Champions League main draw. They will face the champions of Norway, Viking, in the playoff round. Given their three straight home wins, this prediction suggests that Dinamo Zagreb will progress.
Croatian giants Dinamo Zagreb have been to the UCL main draw nine times. A 10th one seems to be in the offing as Dinamo are coming into this game off a strong run this season.
They’ve already negotiated two rounds of the qualifiers and are unbeaten in six matches to start off their season. In that run, Dinamo Zagreb won five times, the most recent outing ending in a 4-0 win against Rudes.
Viking have a date with destiny; they've never reached the Champions League main draw. Their challenge here, though, is expected to be feeble given their recent performances, compared to Dinamo Zagreb’s.
The champions of Norway are coming off a 2-1 loss to Rosenborg, which halted their five-match unbeaten run. However, there is a positive end expected even if Viking lose this tie.
A slot in a European competition main draw is guaranteed for the Norwegians. As their record in two-legged ties in CL is unimpressive, settling in the Europa League looks like a worthwhile consolation.

Our GNK Dinamo Zagreb vs Viking FK Prediction
Viking are not European regulars, and as they start their journey in the Champions League, this won’t be easy. They have never been to the UCL main draw, and it looks even harder this time, because the champions of Norway are coming off a loss and their latest performances away from home have largely been disappointing.
On the other hand, the Croatian side has the momentum, having come through the previous qualifying rounds. Dinamo Zagreb also have history on their side as far as UCL playoff ties are concerned. Our prediction for Dinamo Zagreb v Viking is that Dinamo Zagreb wins.
