Dinamo Zagreb carry a 3-2 advantage into the second leg of their Europa League Round of 32 tie against Krasnodar.
The two sides clash at Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb on Thursday, with the Russian side aiming to overturn a one-goal deficit.
Despite seeing just 33% possession in the first leg, Dinamo Zagreb still managed to resgiter 17 shots, nine of which were on target.
A brace from Bruno Petkovic and a goal from Iyayi Atiemwen saw the Croatian side claim the victory, with Marcus Berg and Viktor Claesson getting on the scoresheet for Krasnodar.
A 1-0 win over Osijek in their previous domestic match means that Dinamo are currently level with the same opponents at the top of the Croatian top-flight.
Dinamo Zagreb have only lost three of their 21 league games this term, while they also have a game in hand over Osijek.
Not only have Dinamo won each of their last five Europa League games, but they are also unbeaten in their previous eight.
On the other hand, Krasnodar will be pretty disappointed to have come away from the first leg needing to turn things around.
The Russian team enjoyed the lion’s share of possession, although they failed to make their most of their dominance.
Krasnodar started the season in the Champions League, but having only managed to win one of their six group games, they dropped down into the Europa League.
In their previous game, Krasnodar were beaten 2-1 by Sochi in the Russian Cup Round of 16, despite also dominating much of that match.
It goes without saying that Krasnodar will need to make the most of their goalscoring opportunities in the second leg.
Head-to-head: As we know, Dinamo Zagreb claimed a 3-2 victory over Krasnodar in the first leg last week.
However, that was the first meeting between the teams in European competition, meaning there are no other results to assess for this fixture.
Team news: Sadegh Moharrami is Dinamo Zagreb’s only injury concern at the moment, with the right-back currently nursing a muscle problem.
Krasnodar could be without as many as five injured players on Thursday, including Dmitri Stotskiy, Matvey Safonov, Crisitan Ramirez, Sergey Petrov and Daniil Utkin.
Dinamo Zagreb showed enough quality in the first leg to suggest that they can get the job done and advance to the next phase on Thursday.
Forebet predicts that both teams will score again in the second leg. However, Dinamo Zagreb are likely to score over 2.5 goals on their way to victory.
