- GNK Dinamo Zagreb are on a four-game winning streak, including back-to-back UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 victories over FK Zalgiris Kaunas (5-0 & 2-1)
- Viking Stavanger have also won their last two, thrashing IK Start Kristiansand 3-0 away and then edging Sarpsborg 08 2-1 at home.
Dinamo and Viking’s fine form make this a must for Under 2.5 goals punters
GNK Dinamo Zagreb and Viking Stavanger have both started the season in fine fashion across all competitions and look likely to make their mark in this UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026, but it might be a case of one of them having to come undone on Tuesday.
Dinamo are on a red-hot four-game run, having beaten FK Zalgiris from Lithuania 5-0 at home and 2-1 away. Mario Kovacevic's men are fast and direct, pressing high and playing the ball forward quickly through the half-spaces.
Viking, meanwhile, are also in good shape, having won seven, drawn two and lost just one of their previous 10, with their most recent two victories being the 3-0 victory over IK Start and the 2-1 success against Sarpsborg. Morten Jensen has them looking organised and compact, with a solid block, clever pressing and effective counter-attacks down the channels.
GNK Dinamo Zagreb are the group’s pace-setters
At 3/5, the Croatian champions are the big favourites here, but Viking make plenty of appeal at 9/2, with the draw coming in at 61/20.
Dinamo look likelier to edge it at home, but both teams are flying and, looking at the goals markets, it could be a competitive tie rather than a stroll.
Over 2.5 goals at 13/20 and Both Teams to Score (BTTS) at Yes 13/20 are our picks for this fixture because the contrast in styles should see a lot of goals, with Dinamo attempting to strangle the game and Viking looking to take advantage of set-pieces and counter-attack.
Lukas Kacavenda and Zlatko Tripic look good goalscorer plays
Dinamo have won three from three at home this season, while Viking have been solid on their travels, where they have won two and drawn one of their three fixtures in all competitions, so this could be a closely fought game.
Lukas Kacavenda, with three in four in the UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026, is Dinamo's danger man, while Viking's Zlatko Tripic, who has three of Viking's nine goals in the last five matches across all competitions, looks a good outside chance to get on the scoresheet.
