Dinamo Zagreb vs Thun: Team News and Expert Analysis
The Zagreb club, for the first time since 2017, missed out on the league title two seasons ago. However, they confidently reclaimed the championship last season, finishing eighteen points ahead of their closest rival, Hajduk Split.
Thun only returned to the country's top division a year ago and sensationally won the Super League, claiming their first title in over a century. However, the architect of their recent rise, Lustrinelli, left his post after that. Without him, they started the season against Luzern, winning 3-1.
Just a week ago, the first leg was played in Switzerland. The hosts opened the scoring midway through the first half and clearly tried to hold on to a 1-0 lead, but conceded in the 86th minute, settling for a draw. So now, a simple draw in Croatia will not be enough.
