Europa Conference League
The head-to-head history between these clubs is limited but slightly in favour of Dinamo. The two sides met twice in the UEFA Conference League during the 2023/24 season, with the Croatian team remaining unbeaten on both occasions - a 1-0 win away in Seville and a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture in Zagreb.
Dinamo Zagreb team overview
Dinamo’s recent Europa League form has been inconsistent: they have failed to win any of their last three matches, conceding heavily in the previous two fixtures against Celta Vigo (0-3) and Lille (0-4). The reasons behind this drop in European form are difficult to pinpoint, although it may simply reflect the higher quality of recent opponents. Domestically, their performances have been steadier, with only one loss in their last five league matches, suggesting they remain capable of producing positive results.
Head coach Mario Kovačević will have a depleted squad to choose from on Thursday, with four first-team players sidelined through injury: Moris Valinčić, Raúl Torrente, Mateo Lišić, and Robert Mudražija. In terms of standout performers, Dion Drena Beljo and Dejan Ljubičić have each scored twice in this season’s European campaign.

Real Betis team overview
Real Betis arrive in Zagreb on the back of a stable and effective group-stage run. They remain unbeaten in their last five matches, recording three wins and two draws. Their recent Europa League form has been particularly strong, securing back-to-back victories: a 2-1 win over FC Utrecht and a 2-0 home success against Ligue 1 side Lyon. Both victories came at the Benito Villamarín, where Betis have been difficult to beat this season, suffering only three defeats across all competitions - two of which were against La Liga giants Barcelona and Atlético Madrid.
Betis’ away form has been even more impressive, as they have avoided defeat in nine consecutive away matches in all competitions heading into Matchday 6.
Manager Manuel Pellegrini has a couple of injury concerns for Thursday’s fixture, with Héctor Bellerín and Isco among the absentees. As for players in form, former Manchester United forward Antony has been Betis’ leading creative force, scoring twice and providing two assists in his first five Europa League appearances.

Prediction
Putting the statistics together, Real Betis appear to hold a narrow but noticeable edge. Their superior performance metrics and consistent away record give them the tactical balance needed to handle a difficult trip to Zagreb. Expect a competitive and open contest with chances at both ends, and a strong likelihood of both teams scoring - especially considering that Betis, despite their excellent away run, have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last nine away matches.
Prediction: BTTS.
Three reasons we expect BTTS
- Real Betis have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last nine away matches across all competitions.
- Dinamo Zagreb have failed to keep a clean sheet in all five Europa League fixtures so far.
- Yet, they have managed to score in three of the last five Europa matches.
