Thun vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction: The Blues to come out on top in Switzerland

Thun and Dinamo Zagreb, winners of the Swiss Super League and the Croatian Football League respectively , go head-to-head in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday (8pm local time/7pm BST).

Below you'll find my Thun vs Dinamo Zagreb predictions, accompanied by the latest match odds from Betfred and team news.

Team News

Despite being the Swiss champions, Thun have got work to do to rebuild their squad. Franz-Ethan Meichtry has left for Genoa, Elmin Rastoder has joined Panathinaikos and Mathias Tomas departed for Puebla.

Nassim Zoukit, Dorian Derbici (FC Aarau) and Nico Maier (Blau Weiss Linz) have all been acquired to boost the hosts' ranks for the upcoming campaign.

Genis Montello is ruled out through injury but Marco Burki is available despite having a domestic suspension.

Dinamo Zagreb have also had to deal with departing stars as Sandro Kulenovic, Marko Soldo and Gonzalo Villar have all moved on this summer.

After scoring 31 league goals last season, Dion Drena Beljo is set to lead the line for the visitors.

Thun vs Dinamo Zagreb Odds

Betfred is leaning towards the visitors, who are a 19/20 bet to win this first leg.

Thun are 23/10 to prevail on home turf, while it's 13/5 for the stalemate.

Three of Dinamo Zagreb's four pre-season friendlies have gone Over 2.5 Goals, which is marketed at 4/6 on this occasion.

Match Result - Dinamo Zagreb @ 19/20

Dinamo are far more experienced than their hosts when it comes to European experience, notably in Champions League qualifiers. I think this will be the difference in Switzerland on Tuesday night.

The Blues have looked sharp in pre-season with three wins from four outings, while they're also 22 games unbeaten in all competitions. They've also scored 16 goals in the process. Thun are winless in their past two fixtures and so I think the Croatian outfit should come out on top in this first leg.

Both Teams To Score - Yes @ 4/7

Thun's matches are experiencing a trend at the moment in which both teams are finding the net. This has been the case in each of the hosts' last six matches and I see this continuing when Dinamo Zagreb come to town.

The Blues have seen BTTS - Yes strike in six of their 10 most recent competitive games, and at 4/7 (implied probability of 63.6%), I believe this is a punt worth considering.
