A pileup of fixtures is the price Sunderland pays for a superb season last term. They are next set to face Croatian giants Dinamo Zagreb in the fourth round of matches in the Europa League. This match will mark the first meeting between the two sides in history.
The Black Cats enter this round sitting ninth in the league phase standings, while Dinamo Zagreb are nine places lower with three fewer points. Participation in Europe has come at a cost for Sunderland, who sit bottom of the Premier League standings.
On the other hand, Dinamo Zagreb are in the Croatian title race, while their Europa League campaign is really struggling. While Sunderland have two wins and a draw in the Europa League, Dinamo have a win, a draw, and a loss. For both teams, clean sheets have become rare in recent matches, and because of that, our prediction is for both teams to score.

Sunderland & GNK Dinamo Zagreb Squad Analysis
Sunderland have a thin squad to pick from for this game, mostly occasioned by injuries. Dan Ballard has a tight hamstring, which locks him out. Romaine Mundle and Haib Diarra are out with knee and muscle injuries.
Nordy Mukiele was withdrawn after suffering a head injury last time out. This is not helped by the fact that at least five of Sunderland’s players are ineligible for this tournament. Those are Chemsdine Talbi, Jocelin Ta Bi, Melker Ellborg, Alan Browne, and Aji Alese.
Dion Beljo is taking 5.4 shots per game, making him Dinamo’s most dangerous player.
At Dinamo Zagreb, Dion Beljo is set to lead the attack, looking to add to his 17 goals in 18 matches. The closest player to him in the team’s leading scorers’ list has four goals. Beljo has scored twice in this competition, and he will be gunning for more goals here.
The striker will definitely rely on Sergi Dominguez for provision, as it is the midfielder who leads the race in accurate passing at 84.5 per 90 minutes.
