Dinamo Zagreb hosts CSKA Moscow in round 6 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, December 10th at Stadion Maksimir (Zagreb)
The Croatian champion is the middle peasant of European club football with significant ambitions in the Europa League. In recent years, the Zagreb club has shown obvious progress and the ability to work with talented youth (not only with the Croats, as it was before). In the group, Dinamo gained 11 points and took first place (not a single conceded goal in five games played). Zoran Mamic successfully replaced Nenad Bjelica on the coaching bridge, although the latter was idolized in Zagreb. The coaching staff can count on a good fusion of experience (Theophile-Catherine, Orsic, Peric, Ademi, and Petkovic) and youth (Gvardiol, Livakovic, Ivanusec, and Majer).

The Russian club failed the group stage since it managed to get hold of only three points (three draws). The main task for Viktor Goncharenko is the champion’s title in the local arena, where CSKA competes for leadership with Zenit and Spartak. The Moscow club already has no prospects in the Europa League. The Red-Blues only have the opportunity to earn bonuses for the club in case of victory over the Croats. All young players of CSKA have already gained enough playing experience to demonstrate good results. Vlasic, Magnusson, Oblyakov, Kuchaev, and Chalov are not raw soldiers but skilled football players with good statistics. Moreover, such newcomers as Ejuke, Gayich, Ziyatdinov, and Fuchs strengthened the team this summer. Young Kotov, Karpov, Maradishvili, and Shkurin gradually burst into the roster.
Both teams have no tournament motivation for this confrontation, where only bonuses from UEFA will be at stake (also a good incentive). Dinamo looks more preferable and shows a well-organized game with a reliable defense and the ability to pragmatically bring matches to a victorious outcome. Zagreb is the favorite that will own the initiative and will have more chances of gaining victory.
Prediction for the match: Dinamo Zagreb to win with 0.0 handicap
