Gorica vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction: Can Gorica keep up with the best teams?

After a long time, Dinamo Zagreb are not in the leading position at this stage of the season, so success in Gorica is imperative. Crucial game for both teams to take control of the current place, especially for the current champion Dinamo, which have recovered several key players after injuries. Dinamo Zagreb were in a sort of result crisis, losing two consecutive games. Next up is a visit to Gorica, a team that is on the rise, and do the Blues have anything to fear we will see today from 19:10 in Radnik stadium.

After an unexpected change of coach, Gorica continued to play well under the leadership of Dinko Jelicic. At the moment they are even fourth in the table and they are a dangerous threat to the leading three against whom they are currently competitive, but as time goes on we believe that they will falter a bit, but a good ranking with the current expert should not be missed. Gorica continued its good performances in a friendly match during the break with one of the better Slovenian teams, Olimpija, which were defeated with a score of 3:0. The home team is in good shape, but they are facing still the best team in Croatian football, which is the strongest in the league when it has a complete squad at its disposal.

Dinamo made the most of the national team break, as several key players such as Stefan Ristovski, Bruno Petkovic, and Dario Spikic returned from injury. The current champion and ruler of Croatian football healed their wounds with the return of the best player and should now be much more dangerous in the opponent's third and should start to string victories. Coach Sergej Jakirovic has almost the entire team at his disposal after the first phase of the season ended with a convincing 3:0 win over Istra. In the meantime, former player Kevin Theophile-Catherine joined the team, which will strengthen the defense that was left by one of the best stoppers during the summer. Dinamo Zagreb are only third in the standings with 19 points, three less than the leading Hajduk but also a game less than their rival from Split.

It is rare that Dinamo Zagreb do not already have a big advantage after 10 rounds in the season, but this is the year when the Blues will be truly challenged in the HNL title race. The condensed schedule and many matches in European competitions took its toll, so Dinamo have bigger problems than usual. Unlike them, Gorica are one of the biggest surprises in the league and they have reason to be optimistic before this game. However, Dinamo are in a situation where they have to win, and the quality that is on their side will decide and bring them three new points.
