Bodo/Glimt vs Dinamo Zagreb – Dinamo Zagreb hopes to participate in the UEFA Champions League group stage once more after the 2019–20 season.
The late equaliser they gave up in the home match against the Ukrainians stopped them from clinching a second-place finish at the time when they were on the verge of passing the group with teams like Manchester City, Atalanta, and Shakhtar Donetsk.
Since then, Dinamo Zagreb’s quality and performance appear to have worsened. Both Sheriff Tiraspol and Ferencvaros eliminated them in 2020–2021.
In the UEFA Europa League last year, the Croatian champions did succeed in getting past the group stage before being defeated by Sevilla in the playoff round.
Dinamo Zagreb will now have a significant barrier on their way to the Champions League group stage as they prepare to face Bodo/Glimt of Norway. These days, Bodo are having some of their best days ever. In the last few years, they have taken off.
The Norwegian champions demonstrated their toughness by defeating teams like Celtic and AZ Alkmaar their route to the UEFA Europa Conference League quarterfinal last season, when they lost to Roma despite having won the home match at the time.
Speaking of Bodo/Glimt and their home field, the Croats are facing some pretty concerning statistics going into this match. Bodo/Glimt will enter this match riding a 12-match winning streak at home in all European competitions.
Along with the victories over Celtic and AZ Alkmaar during the previously stated Conference League run last season, the run also includes two triumphs over Roma.
