As the UEFA Champions League (UCL) league phase reaches its critical stages, Dinamo Zagreb and Celtic face off in a decisive match that could shape their respective playoff aspirations. With both teams currently in the top 24 of the standings, this clash carries immense significance. Dinamo sit precariously in 23rd, while Celtic are riding high with strong form and a chance to make history by extending their unbeaten run in Europe’s elite competition.
Dinamo Zagreb find themselves in a delicate position, clinging to 23rd place in the UCL standings with only a slim three-point cushion above the cutoff. Their recent form doesn’t inspire confidence, as they’ve gone five matches without a win across all competitions (D3, L2). A broader look at their UCL home record reveals just one win in their last seven matches at this level (D3, L3).
Despite these struggles, Dinamo have a perfect historical home record against Scottish teams, winning all four encounters. They’ll look to Lukas Kačavenda, who ended his scoring drought with a goal in their last match, to lead the attack. Managerial focus will likely be on tightening the defense and exploiting Celtic’s vulnerabilities on the road. A win here could be pivotal for their playoff aspirations.
Celtic enter this fixture as one of Europe’s most in-form teams, unbeaten in 14 games across all competitions (W11, D3). Brendan Rodgers’ side has also been resilient in the UCL, going three matches without defeat (W1, D2). Avoiding a loss in Zagreb would mark Celtic’s longest unbeaten streak in the European Cup/UCL since 1986, adding an extra layer of motivation.
However, Celtic’s history in Croatia is far from flattering, having lost all three of their previous trips, all to Dinamo. Their UCL away form is also troubling, with only two wins since 2001 (D5, L34). Daizen Maeda has been a bright spot, scoring three UCL goals this season. A strong defensive performance and clinical finishing will be essential if Celtic hope to break their Croatian curse.
This game is set to be a tactical battle, with Dinamo Zagreb seeking to exploit their home advantage and historical dominance over Scottish sides. Their strategy will likely involve a cautious buildup with an emphasis on counterattacks, utilizing Lukas Kačavenda’s creativity in the final third.
Celtic, buoyed by their unbeaten streak, will aim to control possession and pressure Dinamo’s defense. Brendan Rodgers may deploy a high press to force mistakes, but the visitors must be wary of Dinamo’s threat on the break. While Celtic’s form is impressive, their away struggles in the UCL make this a challenging assignment.

Our predicted score is 2-0 for Dinamo Zagreb, as their home advantage and historical dominance against Scottish teams are expected to be decisive factors. The suggested bet is Dinamo Zagreb to Win to Nil, reflecting Celtic's struggles on the road in the UCL and Dinamo’s ability to capitalize on familiar surroundings. For additional value, consider Lukas Kačavenda as an anytime scorer, given his recent return to form.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
