Dinamo Zagreb and Dynamo Kyiv go head-to-head at the Stadion Maksimir in a thrilling friendly fixture on Thursday.
This is one of a number of friendly fixtures arranged by the Ukrainian outfit to raise awareness regarding the ongoing Russian invasion.
Dinamo Zagreb resumed their charge for the Croatian top-flight title last Sunday as they claimed a 1-0 win away to Gorica.
This followed a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Hajduk Split on April 20 which saw their six-game unbeaten run come to an end.
With 69 points from 32 games, Dinamo Zagreb are currently first in the Croatian HNL table, with a five-point cushion over second-placed Osijek.
Elsewhere, Dynamo Kyiv put on a resilient performance as they came from behind to claim a 3-1 win over Borussia Dortmund in Tuesday’s friendly fixture.
The Ukrainian outfit have now avoided defeat in each of their 15 friendly outings since the suspension of the Ukrainian Premier League, claiming 12 wins and three draws.
Dynamo Kyiv will feel confident of keeping this fine run going as they take on an opposing side who they are unbeaten against in each of their last four encounters since 2003.
Dinamo Zagreb vs Dynamo Kyiv Head-To-Head
This will be the fifth meeting between the sides. Dynamo Kyiv have been dominant in their previous four encounters, claiming three wins in that time. The spoils have been shared once.
