After seeing off Legia Warsaw over two legs of a tightly contested tie in the previous round, Dinamo Zagreb aim to reach the Champions League proper having missed out last year. In their previous game, they beat NK Lokomotiva Zagreb 1-0 in their domestic league Croatia 1.Division. However, in the European football outpost of Tiraspol last week, they were beaten by Sheriff 3-0 through Adama Traore's 80th-minute strike - his fourth of the qualifying campaign. Dinamo's talented forward could be required to work his magic again on Wednesday, as the Modri seek a minor miracle - a minimum of three goals.
Sheriff Tiraspol
As 19-times domestic title-winners, Sheriff are well accustomed to taking part in qualifying. Sheriff had beat Teuta and Alashkert before claiming Crvena Zvezda in the third round by virtue of a 1-0 second-leg win., and now they have turned around the tie. They had won 3-0 against Dinamo Zagreb at home, and now have all the momentum. All in all, Sheriff have a three-goal lead in aggregate.
Comprehensive Analysis
Dinamo have incredible head to head record against the opponent. Besides, they are also from a far better domestic league.
On the other hand, Sheriff have a three-goal lead in aggregate, and they are good at defense. All they would need to is take advantage of the spaces left behind by Zagreb, due to their constant attacks. Therefore, it is believed that it will be a intense match. Take both teams to score and the goals will be over 2.5 in total.
