Form and context

Dinamo Zagreb host NEC Nijmegen in the UEFA Europa League on 22 October. Dinamo's last five in all competitions include a 5-1 win at NK Slaven Belupo and a 1-0 home victory over Anderlecht, plus a 2-1 league defeat at HNK Hajduk Split. NEC's last five in all competitions brought four draws, including 2-2 with Fortuna Sittard and 1-1 with Levski Sofia, and a 5-0 loss at Juventus.

Team news

  • Dinamo Zagreb: No confirmed team news yet.
  • NEC Nijmegen: Bram Nuytinck is out after ankle surgery, Emre Mor has a groin injury and Dusan Tadic a calf injury, while Ayodele Thomas is suspended.

What the numbers say

  • Dinamo average 1.8 goals scored and 1.5 conceded across the matches counted.
  • NEC average 1.1 goals scored and 2.2 conceded across the matches counted.
  • NEC are without four players through injury or suspension.
  • The prediction model gives a home win 45%, a draw 45% and an away win 10%.

Our view

Dinamo come in off a heavy scoring win and a narrow European victory, while NEC have drawn most of their recent matches and conceded heavily in Turin. NEC's absences add to the difficulty of the trip, though their run of draws shows they are hard to break down.

Most likely outcome: draw - the model splits home win and draw evenly, and NEC's recent record is full of stalemates.
