Rudes vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction: A very easy challenge for Dinamo

At the closing of the 27th round of the SuperSport HNL, the last-placed Rudes will welcome Dinamo on Sunday from 19:10 at the stadium in Kranjceviceva Street. In the previous round, the home team lost to Lokomotiva, while the visitors defeated Slaven Belupo. Meanwhile, Dinamo suffered a heavy defeat and were knocked out of the UEFA Conference League by PAOK, and it was a huge disappointment for all of Croatia as they had 2 goals advantage after the first match.

Rudes are hoping for a comeback here after a 3-0 defeat in SuperSport HNL in their previous match against Lokomotiva. In that match, Rudes had 46% possession of the ball and 9 shots on goal, 1 of which was on target. On the other hand, Lokomotiva had 16 shots, 8 of which were on target. Rudes have rarely shown defensive solidity lately. Rudes have failed to keep opponents from scoring in his previous 6 matches, conceding 13 goals in that span. Regardless of previous results, we will have to wait and see if that trend continues in the next game or not. Also, Rudes did not beat Dinamo Zagreb in their last 6 league games, and they occupy the convincing last position in the table with only seven points won from 26 games, where 9th-placed Istra are even 19 points ahead of them. The coach of Rudes, Davor Mladina, has no problems with the players' physical fitness before this game, with a completely healthy group ready to play.

After being defeated in their last game against PAOK in the European Conference League, Dinamo and their fans are hoping for a better result this time around. The only goal for the visitors in that game was scored by Arber Hoxha in the 49th minute. On the other hand, Abdul Rahman Baba, Brandon Thomas, Konstantinos Koulierakis, and Andrija Zivkovic scored for PAOK. Before this match, Dinamo remains undefeated by Rudes in away games in the previous 3 league games, unbeaten in their last 6 away games in the league and have no away win in the last 2 league games. In the fierce battle for the title, Dinamo currently occupies the third position in the table with 51 points won, four less than Hajduk and eight less than Rijeka, but they also have one game less. As for injuries, coach Sergej Jakirovic currently has to deal with reduced selection options, as Dino Peric, Jakov-Anton Vasilj, Sadegh Moharrami, Lukas Kacavenda, and Marko Rog are not ready for this match. 

In this game, Dinamo have the potential for a big win and a possible clean sheet against Rudes, who may struggle to find a way to the net at all. We expect that there will be many opportunities for goals, mostly created by Dinamo and I assume that the guests will manage to triumph without conceding a goal, and score more than 3 goals.
