9 missing for Dinamo
Cibalia are alongside Sibenek favourites to achieve promotion from the Croatian second division this year. Early into the season things are looking pretty decent with two wins and one loss (against league leaders Sibenek) from the first three rounds. Always strong at home, Cibalia are definitely favourites in tonight’s clash with a young and inexperienced Dinamo Zagreb II side, that now also have to deal with a depleted starting eleven.
Dinamo Zagreb II are new to the division after winning 3.HNL Zapad last season. Life in the second tier has not been easy though for a team with an average age even younger than last season. An uninspiring 0-0 draw at home to bottom placed Zadar on Saturday showed that they might be in for a relegation battle come March. Tonight there are even bigger problems for the team, not only because they are facing a top side in Cibalia, they are also missing no less than 9 players.. Goalkeeper Mikukić, defenders Benkovic, Sosa and Soldo, midfielders Lovren, Moro and Brekalo and forward Badji are all away on international duty and another defender, Petar Mamic, is injured and will not feature.
Cibalia should be the clear favorites here and we expect the odds to get slashed, so get on it early.
