Varazdin vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction: Can Varazdin end the bad run against the champion?

On Sunday, starting at 5:00 p.m., the 14th round of the SuperSport HNL will continue with a very important clash between Varazdin and current champion Dinamo Zagreb. Varazdin are still undefeated after returning from the international break and will certainly be a tough nut to crack for Dinamo, which have recently consolidated the ranks a bit. Dinamo are doing well in Varazdin, even though every game they didn't win is remembered more than the successes of the Blues. This is normal because the team from Zagreb are by nature favorites, wherever the game is played.

It can be said that the next three rounds will decide the fate and direct the season of Varazdin. They have a hellish schedule and clashes with Dinamo, Hajduk, and Rijeka, and everything starts this Sunday against the current champion, whom they have not yet met this season. In the announcement of the match, the coach of the home team, Mario Kovacevic, spoke about the lineup in which several key players are returning after injuries and yellow cards. In this match, they will try to sell their skin dearly in front of the home fans and improve their current ranking, i.e., sixth place, where they are mostly due to too many draws, which clearly shows why they are underdogs in this match.

A week ago, at Maksimir against Lokomotiva, Dinamo were on the ropes. After the early lead, the Lokos had a match chance before stoppage time, but they missed a 100% chance and then were punished in a long stoppage time in which the Blues with two goals may have turned the whole season around. A big turnaround and a celebration for Dinamo will certainly bring a lot of confidence to their depleted squad without their best player. They boosted their self-confidence even more with a convincing performance in the cup against a lower-league team. Even today in Varazdin, they have every right to hope for a full reward and 3 points in this difficult away match.

Expert Betting Tips

Varazdin's last domestic HNL victory against Dinamo was on September 21, 2019, and it resonated because they defeated Dinamo just a few days after Dinamo had thrashed Atalanta in the Champions League 4:0. We are convinced that this Sunday in Varazdin we will have a difficult match with fewer goals, which the current champion should win in the end. Dinamo still lacks the main force in the attack, Bruno Petkovic, but lately they have consolidated a bit, especially after the great victory and the turnaround against Lokomotiva. Therefore, we suggest the combination that the guests win and that we will not see more than four goals.
