Dinamo Zagreb hosts Krasnodar in the second leg of the Europa League 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, February 25th at Stadion Maksimir (Zagreb)
The Croatian grandee has been building the structure of its activities, the staffing process, and the management of the club for years. And now these achievements allow Dinamo Zagreb to show decent results in European Cups. The team is doing well in the current Europa League and has every chance of reaching the 1/8 finals. Under the management of Zoran Mamic, Dinamo Zagreb is leading in the national championship with a margin of four points from its competitors. The team's game is based on counterattacks with a quick transition from the defense using the center line. The defense worked reliably in the first game against Krasnodar, but the Croats still allowed the opponents to send two balls in Livakovic's net.

Murad Musayev's charges possessed the ball a lot during the first meeting with the Croats. Nevertheless, Krasnodar failed to hold back sharp counterattacks from the opponents. The Bulls will have to play on two fronts if they manage to overcome the stage of the Europa League 1/16 finals. However, Krasnodar has serious problems in the domestic arena, where it is taking a place outside the European Cup zone. The roster allows the Russian club to set high tournament goals for itself. The team has enough strong performers - the reliable goalkeeper Safonov, defenders Martynovich, Sorokin, and Petrov, midfielders Cabella, Vilhena, and Wanderson, as well as forward Berg.
Krasnodar is not going to give up without a fight, despite an offensive home defeat. The Croatian grandee is well organized tactically and is able to dictate its terms on the football field. The return game promises to be intense and full of goal attempts. But we do not expect high performance, as both teams will act much stricter in defense than they did in the first leg.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
