Preview

Dinamo Zagreb host Anderlecht in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, October 15, with kick-off at 3:00 p.m. ET. The model’s outcome order is a Dinamo Zagreb win (47.3%), then a draw (26.7%), then an Anderlecht win (26%), while the teams arrive with contrasting recent records and both have reported absentees. The fixture is at Stadion Maksimir, Zagreb, and the model’s projections point to a contest with goals possible at both ends.

What the model expects

The model’s likeliest result is a Dinamo Zagreb win, and it gives Dinamo Zagreb 47.3%, a draw 26.7% and an Anderlecht win 26%. These probabilities and projections are estimates. Its expected-goals figures are 1.7 for Dinamo Zagreb and 1.2 for Anderlecht, setting out the scoring expectation for each side without making a single scoreline certain.

The model puts over 2.5 goals at 53.1% and under 2.5 goals at 46.9%. It gives both teams a chance of scoring at 55.2%, while 44.8% is the chance that at least one side fails to score. The leading exact-score projections are 1-1 (11.6%), 1-0 (9.5%) and 2-1 (9%). The score forecasts include a draw and wins for either side, so the model’s central expectation is not confined to one exact outcome.

Form and standings

Dinamo Zagreb have the sequence DDLLW across their last 5 games, amounting to 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats and 8 goals scored and 9 conceded. Their latest outing was a 0-0 away draw with Hapoel Beer Sheva on September 16; they are also unbeaten in their last 2. The sequence gives the recent record some context, while the latest result provides the most recent point of reference before this fixture.

Anderlecht come in with LWWWW across their last 5 games: 4 wins and 1 defeat, with 11 goals scored and 4 conceded. Their latest result was a 2-1 home defeat to Lyon on September 16. The recent sequence contains wins as well as a defeat, and the model’s outcomes are a Dinamo Zagreb win (47.3%), then a draw (26.7%), then an Anderlecht win (26%).

The table has Dinamo Zagreb 19th in UEFA Europa League on 1 point from 1 game, with Anderlecht 23rd in UEFA Europa League on 0 points from 1 game; Dinamo Zagreb sit above Anderlecht. This fixture gives both clubs an opportunity to add to their points tally. The standings offer an early snapshot, while the form records cover a broader set of recent matches.

Team news

Dinamo Zagreb have reported F. Topic (off the roster), A. Stojakovic (foot injury), N. Nsoki (off the roster), S. Radeljic (doubtful, inactive), S. McKenna (doubtful, inactive) and R. Mudrazija (off the roster). The list includes players described as doubtful as well as those listed as unavailable for other reasons.

For Anderlecht, the reported absentees are L. Hey (broken leg), G. Biancone (hamstring injury), I. Camara (foot injury), I. Koutsoupias (off the roster) and K. Sardella (thigh injury). Line-ups are not announced yet, so the confirmed selections remain unknown.

Head to head

Across the last 2 meetings, Dinamo Zagreb won 1, Anderlecht won 0 and 1 was drawn. The most recent meeting was Dinamo Zagreb 0-0 Anderlecht (December 2018). That latest scoreline was goalless, while the broader record also includes a win for Dinamo Zagreb. The previous meetings provide a point of reference, but the model’s projections for this fixture are set out separately above.

What to watch

The central question is whether Dinamo Zagreb can deliver the model’s likeliest result, a Dinamo Zagreb win, against an Anderlecht side with a recent record that includes several wins. The expected-goals projection gives both attacks a route into the game, and the model’s both-teams-to-score figure reflects that possibility. Its exact-score forecasts also include a draw, leaving several plausible ways for the contest to develop. With the teams’ line-ups still unconfirmed, the reported availability picture is the information currently on hand.
