Dinamo Zagreb vs Olympiakos Betting Tips

Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiakos are in similar possession two games into Champions League action. They’ve both picked up wins against Arsenal, which open up an opportunity to qualify for the knockout stages of the competition. However, they’ve also each been thrashed by Bayern Munich. A win in this game, for either team, would go a long way towards picking up a somewhat surprising place in the last 16.

The jury is still out on Dinamo Zagreb. They didn’t beat elite teams to qualify for the group stages, and it remains to be seen whether the Croatian side’s opening 2-1 away win against Arsenal was a sign of a side with the quality to advance in this competition. They were less convincing against Bayern Munich, in fact they were thrashed 5-0.

Olympiakos are the side with more pedigree. The Greek champions have been a long-time battler in this competition, even if progression past this phase is relatively rare. They were beaten 3-0 at home by Bayern Munich in their opening game, but they displayed plenty of grit and battle in eventually earning a 3-2 away win against Arsenal.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Both sides are at their best going forward

They both demonstrated against Arsenal that they can be dangerous counter attacking and they have the ability to score goals.

2. Enough defensive frailties

Both teams have defensive frailties and those weaknesses should ensure that this game doesn’t get locked down by either club.

3. Balanced game

Neither team is going to dominate ball possession and we don’t expect the flow of this game to imbalanced. That makes a near even-odds BTTS market.
