Red Bull Salzburg vs Dinamo Zagreb Predictions

• Both teams have scored in five of the last six meetings between the pair
• Over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of Salzburg’s last six Champions League matches
• Eight of Dinamo Zagreb’s last ten matches in the Champions League have had three or more goals

Desperation for victory points to goals

The early results in the Champions League of Salzburg and Dinamo Zagreb suggest it may be a tough time in Europe for the pair and the desperation for victory means this should be an entertaining encounter.

Salzburg are yet to score in their opening two Champions League assignments, having lost 3-0 at Sparta Prague before a 4-0 beating from Brest.

However, even they should get some joy from a Dinamo Zagreb defence that has already leaked 11 goals in the league phase of this season’s Champions League.

The Croatian side were humbled 9-2 away at Bayern Munich in their Champions League opener before playing out a 2-2 draw with Monaco, who needed a 90th-minute penalty to claim a point.

So with both teams likely to be targeting victory in one of their most winnable fixtures, the goals could flow.

Suspect defences to be exposed

Salzburg have seen over 2.5 goals in five of their last seven Champions League assignments while eight of Dinamo Zagreb’s last ten matches in the competition have had three or more goals.

These two teams have met six times since 2014, which includes twice in 2022, and both teams have scored in five of those matches.

Correct-score punters should opt for a 2-2 draw, given both teams have scored in six of Dinamo Zagreb’s last seven matches and two of their last three outings have ended that scoreline.
