Dinamo Zagreb-Qarabag is a match valid for the first leg of the Champions League access playoffs and is played Tuesday at 9 p.m.: lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
Dinamo Zagreb is one of those teams that were lucky enough not to take part in the Champions League preliminaries, entering only in the play-offs, the last hurdle before the new single group stage. From this year, as is well known, everything changes: no more rounds of four but a kind of mini-league in which each will play 8 matches – four at home and four away – against different opponents.
The reigning Croatian champions will do everything to play it – it would be crucial especially from an economic point of view – something that has not happened since the 2022-23 season, when they finished last in a group that also included AC Milan and Chelsea.
The team coached by Sergej Jakirovic meanwhile is already trying to take the lead in the HNL, Croatia’s top league: after three rounds they are the only ones with full points thanks to three wins against Istra, Osijek and Sibenik (10 goals scored and only one conceded). The focus now, however, is entirely on the double challenge with Qarabag, another club that has been making a regular presence in Europe for years now. The Azerbaijanis have not played in the final phase of the Champions League since the 2017-18 season and unlike the Croatians have already made it through two preliminary rounds to reach the play-offs. After thrashing the lowly Lincoln Red Imps’ Gibilterrians by a total of 7 goals, Gurban Gurbanov’s team sent Ludogorets home, overwhelmed even 7-2 in the return match, which ended in extra time (the first leg had ended 2-1 for the Bulgarians).

The prediction
Dynamo Zagreb is favored in this doubleheader but Qarabag remains a tricky team and the Croatians better try to mortgage qualification in the first leg so they won’t then be forced to score in faraway Azerbaijan in seven days. Both are likely to score.
