Dinamo Zagreb vs Sevilla prediction, preview, team news and more

Dinamo Zagreb and Sevilla are back in action in the Europa League as they lock horns at the Stadion Maksimir in the second leg of their playoff round clash on Thursday.

The Spanish outfit, who are the most decorated side in the history of the competition with six title wins, picked up a 3-1 win in the first leg and will look to keep the ball rolling.

Dinamo Zagreb were denied a dream start to the knockout stages of the Europa League as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Sevilla in the first leg.

Prior to that defeat, they were on a 12-game winning streak across all competitions, scoring 33 goals and keeping eight clean sheets in that time.

Like the hosts, Sevilla were held to a draw by Espanyol in La Liga last Sunday when Sergi Darder cancelled out Rafa Mir’s first-half opener.

They are now unbeaten in each of their last six games in all competitions, claiming two wins and four draws since their Copa del Rey defeat against Real Betis on January 15.

Sevilla will now look to pick up where they dropped off in the Europa League last time out as they seek a record-extending seventh title triumph.
