Preview

Match preview

Dinamo Zagreb welcome HNK Rijeka to Maksimir for a key clash near the top of the HNL standings. Dinamo sit second with 19 points from nine matches, trailing league leaders Hajduk Split by three points. Rijeka occupy fifth place on 17 points, keeping them within striking distance in a tightly packed upper half of the table.

Dinamo have maintained a flawless home record in domestic play, winning all five league matches at Maksimir while scoring 13 goals and conceding only three. Their attack has been led by D. Beljo, who has already recorded 12 goals and four assists. Although Dinamo suffered a 4-2 home defeat to NEC Nijmegen in European competition recently, their domestic standards in Zagreb remain high.

Rijeka travel on the back of consecutive away victories against Karlovac 1919 and Rudes, but their league record on the road shows just one win from five matches. With only four away goals scored across those five league trips, Rijeka face a difficult task against a Dinamo side that has kept three home clean sheets and remains undefeated in their last five head-to-head encounters at Maksimir.
