What to expect
We expect about 2.5 goals from Dinamo Zagreb and 0.8 from NK Istra 1961, so Dinamo Zagreb come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.3 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.
Dinamo Zagreb come into this on two straight wins. NK Istra 1961 come into this on three straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.
Our pick: Dinamo Zagreb to win. Dinamo Zagreb are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.4-0.8), and we make them about 76% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.
We put the chance of that landing at about 74 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.23, which works out at about 81 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
