Dinamo are on a roll
Form and style
GNK Dinamo Zagreb enter Tuesday's game with Viking Stavanger on a good run of form across all competitions having won 8 and drawn 2 of their last 10 matches. Mario Kovacevic's team play a fast-paced game, pressing high and moving the ball quickly through the half-spaces on the counterattack. Lukas Kacavenda has been Dinamo's key player so far in this competition, scoring 3 goals in their first 4 UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 fixtures.
Recent results and home form
Croatian champions Dinamo have won 4 on the spin coming into this fixture, including 5-0 and 2-1 wins over FK Zalgiris in their most recent UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 outings. They have been immovable at Stadion Maksimir in all competitions (Won 4, Drawn 1, Lost 0 over their last 5), conceding just 2 goals in that sequence, and are favored at 1.6 to win this clash with Viking.
Viking have the bite to bite back
Form and tactics
Viking, however, won't go down easily as they are also in fine form, having won 7, drawn 2 and lost only 1 of their last 10 across all competitions.
Stavanger are 5.5 to upset the odds and beat Dinamo on Tuesday night, but we feel a draw is closer to the mark with the draw quoted at 4.05.
- Morten Jensen has his team well-organised and compact when they sit deep, they press selectively and hit their opponents with pace on the break through the wide channels.
- Viking's danger man is Zlatko Tripic, who has bagged 3 goals in their previous 5 games across all competitions.
- The Norwegians have also been solid on the road in the last couple of months, going 2-1-0 in 3 away games in Norway's top-flight and 4-2-1 in 7 away from home across all competitions.
A goals bet makes sense
Dinamo are clearly the more likely of the two teams to get a foothold in this game and win at home, but Viking's form and away bite suggest that this will be a competitive tie rather than a walkover.
The game is a classic possession vs transition battle where the visitors are likely to get squeezed by Dinamo, but can create their own chances on set pieces and on the odd quick break.
The over 2.5 goals bet is priced at 1.65 and BTTS looks to be priced around even money, which seems fair.
