Champions League Young Boys vs Dinamo Zagreb

Last year the Young Boys won the title that was missing from 1986 and in doing so has interrupted the domination in the Basel Basel Championship which lasted from 2010. Thanks to the new regulation of the Champions League playoffs he was classified by right to the playoff in which will face Dinamo Zagreb.

The framework of the Young Boys has remained the same as last year, and the company has taken steps forward at an organizational level. There were no excellent assignments and indeed left-back Ulisse Garcia from Werder Bremen and central defender Mohamed Camara from Hapoel Raanana arrived. The strong points available to new coach Gerardo Seoane, who replaced Adolf Hütter at Eintracht Frankfurt, are right-back Kevin Mbabu, central Djibril Sow plus strikers Roger Assalé and Jean-Pierre Nsame, without forgetting the experience defender Von Bergen, former PSG Guillaume Hoarau and midfielder Miralem Sulejmani. The only heavy sale so far has been that of defender Kasim Adams passed to Hoffenheim for 8 million euros. In case of elimination from the Champions League, it is very likely that also the strong full-back Kevin Mbabu will start looking for many Bundesliga teams. In this first leg there will be no attacker Assalè, injured as well as Lauper and Lotomba.

Dinamo Zagreb

In the last few years the Dinamo Zagreb nursery has raised a lot of very strong players who then ended up in the top European clubs: Lovren, Mandzukic, Badelj, Vrsaljko, Brozović, Modric, Kovacic, Pjaca, Rog and finally the new purchase of Roma Ante Coric. Forty-four of the Croatian national team players who reached the 2018 World Cup final were raised in Dinamo Zagreb’s nursery. Lately, however, the nursery has appeared a bit ‘less productive than in the past. Among the current players of Dinamo Zagreb the most interesting profile is that of goalkeeper Livaković, while the defender Filip Benkovic – who seems to be able to aspire to become a champion of the future – has been regularly sold in the summer to Leicester City for 14.5 million euros .

But this time Dinamo Zagreb made some more purchases than in the past: Kévin Théophile-Catherine and Emir Dilaver took the defense, and Bruno Petkovic from Bologna arrived in attack with Lovro Majer, Mislav Orsic, Luka Menalo and Damian Kadzior. external attackers. With this team reinforced and with many options available to coach Bjelica, the qualification in the Champions League seems possible.

Young Boys vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction

The Young Boys took part for the sixth time in the Champions League, but in the group stage qualifying play-offs were eliminated four times out of four. This turn instead Dinamo Zagreb has collected four successes and one elimination: traditionally, the Croatians start slightly favorites for the passage of the round: winning the first leg will however be very complicated and is more likely a draw with goals.
