JefeBet Prediction
Bodo Glimt is at a very important stage after winning the Norwegian league last year, reaching the quarterfinals of the Europa Conference League and being one step away from its first appearance in the Champions League. All this with an impressive record of goals scored and few conceded.
However, Dinamo Zagreb has much more experience in this type of engagement. The team frequently competes in the Champions League, and while playing at home they are nearly unbeatable, especially against opponents of a similar caliber.
Pick: Dinamo Zagreb to win.
