D. Zagreb vs Feyenoord Prediction & Betting tips
Feyenoord played in the city derby for the second time in a short time for the second time in a short time, but the selection has now traveled to Croatia to meet Dinamo Zagreb. The Croatian champion is in good shape. Is there something to be gained for the Rotterdammers?
Dinamo Zagreb:
For a long time it looked like the Croatian champions would play Champions League football next season. Last season Dinamo Zagreb played at this level. At that time, Atalanta, among others, was defeated 4-0 and twice drawn against Shakhtar Donetsk. By becoming champion with fifteen points, Dinamo Zagreb extended its title. In the third qualifying round, Pjesnici came in in which it defeated CFR Cluj after penalties. Then it lost to the Hungarian champion Ferencvaros. In the next preliminary round it met Flora Tallinn from Estonia. Dinamo Zagreb captain Arijan Ademi scored twice, meaning Zoran Mamic’s team will play in the Europa League this season.
Seven of the first eight rounds were won in the Croatian league, making Dinamo Zagreb again the leader in the 1. HNL. The most famous players of the club are Mislav Orsic and Bruno Petkovic, but the Rotterdam defense must mainly focus on someone else. Striker Mario Gavranovic is in absolute form. During the international period he scored twice against the Germans for Switzerland, but he also proved his worth last weekend. The 30-year-old striker made a hat-trick, allowing his team to win 3-2 against HNK Gorica.
Feyenoord:
Dick Advocaat’s selection performed reasonably well in the first games of the season. In the opening match against PEC Zwolle, captain Steven Berghuis in particular showed that there was nothing to be gained. In the first home game, Feyenoord fell through the ice after all. FC Twente scored the opening goal within two minutes and the Rotterdam team couldn’t recover from that blow. The team seemed to want to recover later and ADO Den Haag and Willem II were actually outclassed on all fronts. Berghuis made an impression and was involved in four goals in those duels, but the bicycle kick from Marcos Senesi against ADO Den Haag was the absolute highlight. The Portuguese João Teixeira also impressed Advocaat and Orkun Kökcü disappeared from the starting eleven.
Despite the good results, there were problems for the Rotterdammers. While tastemaker Luis Sinisterra is on the way back, strikers Robert Bozenik and Nicolai Jorgensen were both injured. Eric Botteghin’s injury could be absorbed by the arrival of Serbian defender Uros Spajic, but in the striker, Lawyer has to do it again with a natural winger.
Against Sparta, Bryan Linssen, who had come over from Vitesse, was selected as a striker between Mark Diemers and Berghuis. In the Rotterdam derby, Feyenoord came out very badly. Ridgeciano Haps’s goal was the only shot that Feyenoord fired on Benjamin van Leer’s goal. Sparta tied the score via a penalty kick and with 40 minutes to go, Feyenoord created nothing at all. The game ended 1-1 and the lead was not the only thing that Feyenoord lost. Leroy Fer was also injured midfielder.
