One of Thursday's UEFA Europa League venues will be Stadion Maksimir in the Croatian city of Zagreb. Playing on home soil the Dinamo players will be looking for a repeat of the win that the secured against Anderlecht in this competition last week. The Dutch visitors, on the other hand, will be hoping to do a little better having tied 1-1 with Levski, and after creating lots on that occasion, maybe they will. 

Both teams have lacked defensive solidity in their first two UEL games, so this is the type of fixture that both should be looking to attack, while it's not as if either team is unfamiliar with being involved in high-scoring games, leaving 'Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score' to go down as a more than viable option at odds of -115.

Our GNK Dinamo Zagreb vs NEC Nijmegen Prediction

In the UEFA Europa League last week, we saw Dinamo Zagreb win by just a goal to zero in front of a home crowd, but that scoreline didn't tell the whole story, with more than 3.00 xG produced in the game, 2.07 was attributed to the hosts. The visitors also created lots in their UEL game last week, posting 1.97 xG, so it's easy to feel that both teams will do some damage here. 

Looking at the relevant goal stats as shown above, with both teams looking threatening in their last UEL games, 'Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score' could easily be priced shorter than -115. 

Our Dinamo Zagreb vs Nijmegen Pick: Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score.
