Dinamo Zagreb hosts Sevilla in the second leg of the Europa League 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, February 24th at Stadion Maksimir (Zagreb)
Dinamo Zagreb is going through not the best period in its history. First of all, this is evidenced by the fact that the team failed to get into the group stage of the Champions League. In the first leg of the Europa League playoffs, Zeljko Kopic's men also failed to shoot their cuffs. Yes, they scored one goal against the powerful Sevilla. However, this is definitely not enough to advance to the next round, especially since the away goal rule was canceled. It's time to remember how Dinamo Zagreb performs Stadion Maksimir in European competitions. In the previous 18 home games, the Blues gained 12 victories and four draws and suffered only two defeats. This suggests that they will not give up without a fight in the upcoming game.

Sevilla did enough to play the second leg without worrying about advancing to the next round of the tournament. We should note that Sevilla is the most titled club in Europa League history. The Andalusians raised this trophy over their heads six times. Let me remind you that Julen Lopetegui's men got into the Europa League after taking third place in the Champions League group, as Salzburg and Lille performed better. Sevilla players earned only six points in six matches. The Red-Whites are currently on an unbeaten streak in the Europa League. It amounts to seven matches (five victories and two draws) and started back in 2019.
The upcoming match will be the 4th in the history of head-to-head confrontations between Dinamo Zagreb and Sevilla. All three previous games ended with the victories of the Andalusians. Let’s note that seven out of nine last home games of Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League ended with Under 3.5 goals scored. I think that Sevilla has already resolved the issue of advancing to the 1/8 finals. Of course, the Balkans will be more active on their pitch. But do not forget that the Andalusians are perhaps the most experienced team in the Europa League. Still, six trophies cannot go unnoticed. Most likely, the visitors will do what they do best. They will choose defensive tactics, trying to keep the winning result. In addition, they will certainly try to punish the Blues in counterattacks. I think we will see goals in both nets.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
