Dinamo Zagreb – Betis. Forecast and announcement for the Europa League match

On December 11, the match of the 6th round of the main round of the Europa League will be held at Maksimir, in which Dinamo Zagreb will meet Betis. The match will start at 19:45 Kyiv time.

Dinamo Zagreb

The team has already collected 25 championship titles. And since 2005/2006, only once did she not take first place at the domestic competition. Therefore, the second position according to the results of the last draw was quite naturally considered as a failure. Now, of course, the grand is trying to regain its position. But now one of the usual pursuers, Hajduk, is almost on par – the representative of Split has a point less, 31 against 32.

In the Europa League, the Croatians started with a pair of victories – they beat Fenerbahce and Maccabi Tel Aviv with a score of 3:1. Then everything quickly deteriorated, and if they ended with a 1:1 draw with Malmo in October, then last month there were crushing defeats – 0:3 at home with Celta, 0:4 away with Lille. But there are still quite realistic chances to reach the playoffs of the tournament.

Betis

The club has been playing under the leadership of the same coach for half a decade. Of course, Pellegrini is still far from the records of another Latin American, Simeone. But it provides consistently good results. Yes, last season his wards were the finalists of the League of Conferences, and at the same time became sixth in the Premier League. Now, by the way, they are trying to repeat, or even improve, that result, becoming fifth. But after 3:5 with Barcelona, ​​they are three points behind Espalol.

But everything is fine in the Europa League so far. There were draws with Nottingham Forest at home and Genk away, and in other matches, with Ludogorets, Lyon and Utrecht, they won – in fact, the issue of entering the playoffs has already been decided, but it is desirable to secure a place in the top eight.

Statistics of personal meetings

In February last year, the clubs crossed paths in the playoffs of the Europa League. And the Croats surprised, winning on the road and ending with a draw at home.

Forecast

Bookmakers believe that the Spaniards will take revenge for last year’s failure. We bet that they will succeed and win away (coefficient – 2.13).
