Shkupi Cair vs Dinamo Zagreb Match Analysis and Prediction

Shkupi and Dinamo Zagreb will be looking to extend their Champions League life when they lock horns at National Arena Todor Proeski in the second leg of their second qualifying round tie on Tuesday night.

The first leg left the tie delicately poised as it finished 2-2 in Croatia last week, with Arijan Ademi and Bruno Petkovic finding the net for Dinamo Zagreb while Queven da Silva Inacio and Renaldo Showayne Cephas scored for Shkupi.

Shkupi started their Champions League qualification campaign in the first round where they saw out Lincoln Red Imps easily with a 5-0 victory on aggregate. They will now be looking to progress to the playoff round which is a step away from their Champions League proper debut.

The Macedonian league is yet to begin therefore Shkupi have not been in action since the first leg and they will be hoping to be well-rested ahead of the second leg clash.

Meanwhile Dinamo Zagreb began their Champions League qualification campaign in the second round and they will be looking to go through to the group stages of the competition. Zagreb already kicked off their domestic campaign winning their opening two matches, including the 5-1 thumping os Slaven Belupo at away last Saturday.

They have now gone unbeaten in their last 12 games across all competitions and stretching back to last season and they will be determined to extend the run on Tuesday with a positive result as they seek to progress to the next round of the competition. They have not lost their last four away matches, which is a huge confidence booster ahead of the Tuesday’s clash.
