On December 11, a match of the 6th round of the group stage of the Europa League will take place at the Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb, where the team "Dinamo Zagreb" will meet "Betis". The match will start at 19:45 Kyiv time.
"Dinamo Zagreb" has already won 25 championship titles. However, in the 2023/2024 season, the team finished the previous tournament in second place, which was considered an unsuccessful result. Currently, the Croatian giant is trying to regain its dominant position — at the moment "Dinamo" shares the first place in the championship with the team "Hajduk," leading them by one point.
Form of both teams
In the Europa League, "Dinamo" started with encouraging victories: the team defeated "Fenerbahçe" (3:1) and "Maccabi Tel Aviv." However, the situation has changed — the team suffered defeats: 0:3 at home against "Celta" and 0:4 away against "Lille." Nevertheless, there are still chances to reach the tournament's playoffs.
On the other hand, "Betis," under the leadership of Manuel Pellegrini, has demonstrated stability for over five years. In the previous season, the team reached the finals of the Conference League and finished sixth in La Liga. They are currently trying to improve their position, sitting in fifth place. In the Europa League, "Betis" has already secured victories over "Ludogorets," "Lyon," and "Utrecht," and the question of advancing to the playoffs is practically resolved.
Head-to-head statistics
It is worth recalling that in February last year, the teams met in the Europa League playoffs, where "Dinamo" surprised by winning away and finishing the game at home in a draw.
Bookmakers' predictions
Bookmakers believe that "Betis" will be able to take revenge for the defeat last year. According to them, the probability of "Betis" winning is 2.13.
The match promises to be intense, as both teams are fighting for a place in the playoffs. Watch the climactic clash, which could determine the further fate of the participants.
