THE PREDICTION

Dinamo Zagreb need a win in this game and will look to pounce on a vulnerable Manchester City side. The Croatian outfit are unbeaten in their last five home games in the UCL and could make it six but will need to be wary not to leave themselves too exposed in what should be a high-scoring game.
