Varazdin vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction: Challenging period for the champion

Varazdin will welcome Dinamo, the currently third-ranked HNL team, in the 27th round of the HNL on Sunday at 7:45 p.m. It will also be a derby round, since the Varazdin are in a high fourth place. Of course, some Varazdin fans are always full of criticism against Nikola Safaric's team, even though they are so high in the table, and many were predicting difficult season for them, even fight for survival. Dinamo are not the same as last season, they are not so dominant, and Cannavaro is already feeling the pressure.

In the last 6 rounds, Varazdin won only once, 2:0 away against Sibenik. In the remaining 5 games, they recorded defeats against Hajduk, Slaven Belupo, and Lokomotiva, but on the eve of the representative break, they took a point in each away in Osijek and at home against Istra. Nikola Safaric's team will fight for the 4th place until the end of the championship, which could lead to the Conference League, so this duel with Blues is very important for them. On the home field, Varazdin recorded a score of 6-4-2 with a goal difference of 10:5, and the only teams that took home the full spoils were Slaven and Dinamo. Ahead of Sunday's big clash with Dinamo, Varazdin can't wait for the game. The team coached by Nikola Safaric have not conceded a goal in the last three games, and the full stadium on Sunday will be additional motivation.

After a painful defeat in Rujevica 0:4 and elimination from the Cup by Osijek 0:1, the team from Zagreb finally stabilized. With Hajduk in Maksimir, they managed to draw even though they were playing the last half hour with one less player, and before the national team break, they had two wins in a row, over Slaven in Koprivnica 1:0 and Lokomotiva in Maksimir 3:0. Cannavaro is definitely breathing easier after the return of Misic, Sucic and Petkovic from injuries, and we have the impression that the current champion have seriously heated up before the end of the championship. This season, Dinamo are only the fourth most successful away team with a score of 4-3-5 and a goal difference of 16:20.

Expert Betting Tips

The last time Varazdin celebrated against the Blues was in 2019. This was followed by a streak of 17 games in which they managed to draw only 3 draws. In all 17 games, Varazdin took the ball out of the net at least once, and the last 5 out of 7 matches ended with a total of less than 2.5 goals! Is a bet on Dinamo to win one of the most profitable risks of the day? I believe so! The Blues have no right to a setback, not only in this game but maybe for the rest of the season. They had 2 weeks to sort things out during the national team break, and no matter how uncomfortable Varazdin are at home, there won't be a good enough excuse for possibly spilling points! I even believe that a deuce on a 1:0 handicap bet could be a good option, but I think this match will end with an away win and under 2.5 goals.
