Zagreb won the inverse fixture on the first day of group action. Interestingly enough, that was the only competitive match these two sides have ever played.
Chelsea vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction
The Blues have nothing to play for which could mean we see heavy rotation and a team operating at half capacity. The opposition currently sits bottom of the group, but if the results go their way then they could force themselves into a Europa League spot.
Because of this disparity, we could see the Croatian side grab a second win against their Premier League opponents.
Current Betting Odds: Chelsea vs Dinamo Zagreb
PaddyPower odds put the home side as heavy favorites with odds of 3/10 to win. The away side have massive odds of 8/1 to get the win, putting them as heavy underdogs.
