Dinamo Zagreb vs AC Milan Prediction

Dinamo Zagreb began their 2024/25 UEFA Champions League league phase campaign with a 9-2 demolition at the hands of Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in mid-September. However, the Croatian champions have given themselves a real chance of a top 24 finish as they begin the final match day sitting two points behind. They face an AC Milan side that edged past Parma by three goals to two last weekend with a winner coming deep into second-half stoppage-time. They remain tucked inside the top eight after a slender 1-0 win over Girona. It has been a bizarre start to Sergio Conceicao’s tenure with come from behind victories against Juventus and Internazionale to win the Supercoppa Italiana before some fairly indifferent performances, despite results not being too poor. Given the motivation and home advantage, as well as frailties of the visitors, a double chance bet in favour of Dinamo may well be good value for this one.
