In the first qualifying round, Kazakhstan's champions defeated Dinamo Tbilisi - 1:1 at home, 2:1 away. However, Astana was unlucky with the draw. After all, Dinamo Zagreb is a very experienced team that regularly participates in the UCL group stage. In this sense, the 4:0 away loss cannot be surprising. Unfortunately for Astana, the level of the Croatian player is much higher.

Astana has not won three matches in a row. In addition to the defeat in Zagreb, Grigori Babayan's team sealed a 0:0 at home against Atyrau and lost 0:1 away to Kyzyljar in the national championship. After 17 rounds of the home championship Astana occupies second place, three points behind the leader Ordabasy.

We lose count of how many Zagreb passed various European Cup qualifications. In the first match with Astana, the Croatians confirmed their high class. 4:0 - Dinamo's Dario Spikic and Luka Ivanušec scored a hat-trick. Recall that among the most important players, only Mislav Orsic left Dinamo, so the Croatians faced Astana with almost the same lineup as in the last UCL. There, Dinamo earned four points in the quartet with Chelsea, Milan, and Salzburg.

In the new home championship, Dinamo, led by Igor Biscan instead of Ante Cacic, has a defeat against Hajduk (1:2) and an away win against Istra 1961 (3:0). In addition, they gained a 1:0 victory over the same Hajduk in the Super Cup of the country.

After a 4:0 home win in Astana, Dinamo can even lose with a three-goal difference. But Zagreb is not so rich that they can ignore the financial component of a single Champions League match. So, considering the significant difference in class, Dinamo will certainly be closer to victory. And the game, most likely, will be productive - Astana and Dinamo away show mostly under results.
