In this Europa League fixture, Dinamo Zagreb host Anderlecht. Both teams took a point each from their opening match in this competition, and both need to pick up points before returning to their own league campaigns. This game therefore carries enough weight for both sides to field their strongest line-ups. Dinamo Zagreb have just lost 1-2 in the league, but before that they won 3-2 at home and thrashed their opponents 4-0 in the Croatia Cup. Anderlecht, meanwhile, are on a winning run, scoring 3-0 in two of those matches. They have conceded just six goals in eight league games of their own, while Dinamo Zagreb have scored as many as eighteen in their own league but have also conceded eleven. The pattern of play is likely to see the hosts with slightly more possession, based on an average of 59.3% over their last ten matches, trying to push forward for a goal from the first half. At home, they have scored in the first half in every match. But Anderlecht will not simply sit back either. The second half is likely to be the period when the game opens up more, with space for both sides to play the ball on the ground.
