The current champion finally put out the fire with three consecutive victories after the representative break. Osijek and Slaven Belupo fell in the championship and Astana in the Conference League, and with that the coach Sergej Jakirovic finally brought much-needed stability and peace to the dressing room. Before the decisive duel against Ballkani in Europe and the big derby with Hajduk, they will have an easy task in the form of the weakest team in the league Rudes. This season, Dinamo already easily defeated Rudes 5:1 away from home with a de facto "B team", and this Saturday anything but another convincing victory would be a colossal surprise.

The last-placed Rudes in the previous round, thanks to the superiority of his goalkeeper, managed to steal a point from Lokomotiva on the home field. After 17 rounds played, they are still without a win with four draws and 13 defeats, and today they could face a flood at Maksimir despite bringing in a new coach. It’s already the third coach to take over Rudes this season, the experienced Davor Mladina, who will try to galvanize and organize the broken army of the league's most limited team. It will be difficult to get there because Rudes simply do not have the quality to keep up with the first league teams, and today the new coach will have a baptism of fire against the heated Dinamo.
Expert Betting Tips
An easy match for Dinamo, who would have to achieve a convincing victory at home, despite the coaching change in Rudes. We believe that the current champion will do it in style before the two key clashes that follow, so we suggest the handicap option that the home team will celebrate with a minimum of three points. Safer option is combination of home win with over 2.5, or for the braver over 3.5 goals.
