UEFA Champions League: Dinamo Zagreb vs Chelsea Free Preview And Prediction - 06/09/2022

Dinamo Zagreb are in fine form in the Croatian Division 1. Tuesday’s home team is unbeaten in eight matches and tops the league by eight points already.

These teams have not played previously in European competition. This season’s Champions League has thrown up a few matches between teams that have not met before or in some time. This is one of those matches giving fans the chance to see something different.

Chelsea signed striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on transfer deadline day. The striker could make his debut for the Blues in the Champions League although questions surrounding his fitness have been raised.

Midfielder N’Golo Kante will miss out once more due to a thigh injury. Meanwhile, transfer signing Denis Zakaria, on loan from Juventus, could make his debut after dealing with some work permit issues.

Ante Cacic will lead Dinamo Zagreb onto the pitch on Tuesday night. The manager joined the club last April and has kept the job after getting Zagreb into the Champions League through the qualification rounds.

Long-standing goal scorer Miroslav Orsic leads Dinamo Zagreb in goals on the domestic front this season. Orisc has been in fine form bagging four goals for the club. The striker scored three goals in Dinamo Zagreb’s six Champions League qualifying matches.

Chelsea will need to slow down Orisic and hope summer signing Josip Drmic or Bruno Petkovic don’t pick up the slack. Drmic joined the club on a free transfer from Norwich City during the summer window.

PREDICTIONS: Chelsea to score over 1.5 match goals and the home team to get over 2.5 bookings.
