JefeBet Prediction
For this AC Milan vs Dinamo Zagreb duel, there is a lot to study. Both teams are going through a good moment in their leagues, and Dinamo managed to win on the first day of the Champions League. However, sometimes hierarchy and experience can defeat good beginnings.
The Italians are likely to be much less cautious at home and come out with their full arsenal in search of victory. Despite the fact that the Croatians show a good level, we believe that this match will be for the home team.
Pick: AC Milan wins by 3-1.
