Dinamo Zagreb vs Celta Vigo Prediction: Goals can flow in Croatia

Dinamo Zagreb and Celta Vigo have enjoyed pretty good starts to their Europa League campaigns and qualification for the knockout stage will be the target for both sides.

Celta head to the Croatian capital in good form, but the Blues have shown that they are no pushovers on home turf. Read on for our Dinamo Zagreb vs Celta Vigo predictions.

Team News

Dinamo Zagreb boss Mario Kovacevic has a number of injury concerns ahead of the visit of Celta Vigo.

Miha Zajc, Moreno Zivkovic, Kevin Theo­phile-Catherine and Raul Torrente are all out. Luka Stojkovic and Moris Valincic are also carrying knocks and the duo are doubtful for Thursday night’s tie.

Celta will be without Javi Rueda, while Williot Swedberg could join the right-back on the sidelines. Goalkeeper Ionut Radu is also a doubt after sustaining a hand injury on Sunday.

Dinamo Zagreb vs Celta Vigo Odds

Dinamo Zagreb are 7/4 for a home success, with Celta Vigo 13/8 and the draw a 12/5 chance.

Over 2.5 goals is a 10/11 shot and both teams to score can be backed at 8/11.

Over 2.5 goals @ 10/11

Dinamo Zagreb have enjoyed a strong start to their Europa League campaign after beating Fenerbahce and Maccabi Tel Aviv and taking a point against Malmo, but the visit of Celta Vigo is a big test for the Blues.

Celta are unbeaten in their last seven matches, winning five of those games, and Nice and PAOK Salonika have fallen victim to them in the Europa League.

Claudio Giraldez’s side were good 2-1 winners at Levante on Sunday, where Celta hit 20 efforts on goal, even if they were assisted by Unai Vencedor’s red card.

The Sky Blues have scored 14 goals in their last seven games and seven in their previous three away matches so it’s clear Giraldez’s men are a potent attacking force.

Dinamo Zagreb have seen 10 of their last 13 games go over 2.5 goals and that looks the best play on Thursday night.

Borja Iglesias to score first @ 5/1

Borja Iglesias has made a big impact since joining Celta for the second time last season and the 32-year-old has been in fine goalscoring form this term.

The Spaniard has scored six goals in his last 13 appearances and Iglesias has hit two in two starts in the Europa League.

The 32-year-old is likely to lead the line on Thursday night and the former Real Betis striker should get plenty of joy against a Dinamo Zagreb defence which has kept only one clean sheet in 10 games.
