Shakhtar Donetsk vs GNK Dinamo Zagreb Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Steve Ashfield | in Champions League Prediction
It's a vital game for Shakhtar Donetsk who are third in Group C of the Champions League. They have one win and one defeat from their two games, the same record as second placed Dinamo Zagreb. They now have two games against Dinamo Zagreb and with Manchester City three points clear and Atalanta without a point, these games are vital. Whoever comes out best is likely to make it into the knock-out rounds, so Shakhtar will be looking for three points here. Their only home group game so far saw them lose to Manchester City but they then went to Italy and defeated Atalanta 2-1. It took a 95th minute goal to get Shakhtar three vital points. Shakhtar have won six games in a row since the loss to City, with only that goal in Italy conceded. Home form in the Champions League has seen them go four without a win, though two were against the Premier League champions who they keep drawing. The other two games were drawn and City are the only team to beat them on home soil in their last nine games.
Dinamo Zagreb began their campaign with a 4-0 home win over Atalanta. That was followed by a 2-0 loss at Manchester City but the first goal didn't come til the 66th minute. They are top of the Croatian league and only a certain English team has beaten them in their last seven games. A draw in this game and a win in the reverse fixture would put them in a strong position in this group. Away form has seen them play four games in this season's Champions League. They'd gone three unbeaten before the loss in England, go for a double chance bet on Zagreb to get a win or a draw from this game.
