Dinamo Zagreb hosts Rosenborg in the first leg of the Champions League qualification finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, August 21st at Stadion Maksimir (Zagreb)
Apparently, Dinamo Zagreb already likes to adhere to a peculiar masochistic game style, as a result of which the Croatian flagship first creates problems for itself, and then tries to overcome them with heroic efforts (mostly successfully). It happened in some qualifying matches of the past Euro seasons, so it was in the last European cup fight between Dinamo and Ferencvaros. The Blues were unable to beat the stubborn Hungarians at home (1:1), casting doubt on their progress in the playoffs of the Champions League qualification. And then they bent down Ferencvaros in its field surprisingly easily (4-0), having shown off with their amusing instability once again. Well, now, Dinamo will take on visitors Rosenborg, which is no less experienced in the European Cup battles. The whole game style of this Norwegian team is traditionally focused on the attack of the opponent’s goal. In my opinion, it will become a real problem for the Croats, who are not used to fighting opponents professing an offensive style. Since in the championship of Croatia, with the possible exception of Rijeka and Hajduk, all opponents of Dinamo are trying to survive, crowding near their penalty areas and trying to concede as few goals as possible. And they don’t think of the attack at all.

As for Rosenborg, it just beautifully splurged the spies of its rivals in the Champions League, completely not bothering about the local championship, where the Trolls are still weakly similar to themselves, not even reaching the top three in the standings now. But in the Champions League, the Trondheim players generally do not have any problems, having confidently passed 3 stages of qualification and beat Northern Irish Linfield (4:0, 2:0), Belarusian BATE (1:2, 2:0) and Slovenian Maribor (3:1, 3:1). As we see, the attack of the Norwegians flourishes right in front of our eyes!
I think that Rosenborg will not leave the field without at least one goal scored in the upcoming away match with Dinamo Zagreb.
Prediction for the match: Rosenborg to score over 0.5 goals
