Dinamo Zagreb will have home field advantage for their first leg in the crucial Champions League Play-Off Round against Viking FK on August 18.

Offensively Strong Dinamo Expected to Dominate

Mario Kovačević’s Dinamo Zagreb have started the season in excellent form, winning each of their last five fixtures.

Most impressive has been their attacking output, having scored eleven in their previous three. Home advantage has been a major strength so far in 2026-27, winning each of their latest four.

Dion Drena Beljo has made a red-hot start to the campaign, registering six goal involvements in his last four appearances. Kovačević will only be without the injured Aleks Stojakovic on Tuesday.

Dinamo Zagreb predicted lineup vs Viking FK (4-3-3): Nevistic; Tabinas, Galesic, Radeljic, Goda; Kacavenda, Misic, Zajc; Topic, Beljo, Hoxha

Inconsistent Vikings Aiming to Strike Back

Bjarte Lunde Aarsheim and Morten Jensen will be hoping that their Viking FK team can get back on track this week. The Norwegian champions have made a slow return to action since the World Cup, winning four of their previous eight.

They have also shown defensive weakness in their recent outings, allowing three goals in their last two Norwegian top-flight fixtures.

Peter Christiansen will be an integral player at the top of the field, having registered three goal involvements in as many appearances. Vikings will be without Martin Roseth and Anders Baertelsen.

Viking FK predicted lineup vs Dinamo Zagreb (4-3-3): Ostbo; Bjorshol, Stensness, Falchener, Auklend; Haugen, Moi, Askildsen; Austbo, Christiansen, Alte

However, they still look unconvincing defensively, having kept just three clean sheets in their previous six. Viking also excel at both ends of the field, scoring at least once in their last six games, while conceding at least once in six of their most recent eight.
