Tottenham host Dinamo Zagreb at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London) in the first leg of the Round of 16 in the Europa League and the match kicks off at 8 pm (UK) on Thursday, March 11. Read our reasons for Tottenham vs Dinamo Zagreb prediction and betting tips.
Standing amongst the better-fancied teams to lift the UEFA Europa League (UEL) and claim a first European glory since 1984, Tottenham Hotspur are in excellent form, after winning four straight matches. They secured a lead before the 30th minute in all of those fixtures, scoring exactly four goals in the three home matches. In addition, Jose Mourinho’s men have won all five of their UEL home matches played this term. As for Dinamo, they are also on a high after winning eight straight competitive matches, two of which came in the previous round of this competition against Krasnodar. Of those eight victories, seven were accompanied by a clean sheet, highlighting the defensive efficiency of the Croatian champions.
Spurs have enjoyed four straight victories and look full of confidence heading into an important week, with Thursday’s Europa League game followed by a north London derby against Arsenal on Sunday. Tottenham have plenty still to play for this season and are back in contention for a top-four finish after Sunday’s 4-1 win against Crystal Palace. They also have the Carabao Cup final to look forward to next month but Jose Mourinho has always treated the Europa League with plenty of respect.
This tie was initially set to be played in Zagreb but seeing that Spurs’ North London rivals Arsenal also have a home game in the second leg, UEFA issued the directive to switch. This season in the Europa League, Spurs have managed six wins and a loss in their eight matches in the competition and head here having eliminated Wolfsberger with an 8-1 aggregate win. The Spurs have scored two or more goals in the last six Europa League matches, totaling 20 goals, and head into this game with five straight home wins in the competition.
On the other hand, Dinamo Zagreb are two points clear at the top of the Croatian League with a game in hand after Sunday’s 2-0 victory at home to Rijeka made it five straight domestic wins and seven in total. They got past Krasnodar in the last 32 of the Europa League, eventually winning the away leg 3-2 after conceding two equalisers, and then edging the return leg 1-0. Prior to that, they topped Group K with an unbeaten record and conceded just one goal in the process, so they deserve plenty of respect.
To get the first leg advantage here, Dinamo Zagreb should go out to attack but after scoring twice or more in four of the last five, it shouldn’t be an issue. They have 11 goals in the last five matches and will be hoping to carry this run away to London, having played each of the last four games at home. In Europa League, the Croats have won six consecutive matches and are unbeaten in nine. However, they lack the star quality that Spurs possess, and, as Crystal Palace found out on Sunday, Mourinho’s men are very hard to stop when Kane, Bale, and Son Heung-min are at their best.

Tottenham meet Dinamo Zagreb having previously met only once in European competitions - Spurs beat Dinamo 4-0 at home during the group stages of the UEFA Cup in 2008/09. The Croatian outfit are a strong side and have done well in their recent matches, including the Europa League. However, here they meet a very tough opponent and with Tottenham forwards being in blistering form ahead of this game, their performance will be very crucial. Based on home form, we expect a Spurs win.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
