Thun
Dinamo ZagrebThun returns to the Champions League after a two-decade absence. Can the surprise package that clinched the Swiss league title spring another upset against the vastly experienced Dinamo Zagreb on home soil? Bookmakers have their doubts, but it would be premature to write off the hosts entirely.
Twenty years of waiting have finally ended for Thun's fans, who now see their beloved club back in the Champions League. During their pre-season preparations, the side played three friendly matches. They kicked off with a resounding 6-2 demolition of Swiss second-tier side Xamax. A fiercely contested 1-1 draw with Elversberg from the German Bundesliga followed—a match where Thun picked up three yellow cards, an unusual statistic for a friendly. A 1-2 defeat to Mannheim was a direct consequence of peak training loads rather than a cause for alarm. It is worth noting that Gian-Luca Privitelli’s team conceded in every single friendly, but they also found the back of the net regularly themselves.
The squad situation is far from ideal, with the departure of key midfielder Meihri to Genoa representing a significant loss. Last season, he featured in 35 matches, contributing 8 goals and 5 assists. To fill the void in the center of the park, the club has turned to newcomers: the lightning-quick Debrachi and the experienced Meyer. Thun’s primary strength lies in their championship-winning mentality and a well-drilled core group that is not intimidated by favorites. In the transfer market, the club focused on strengthening the central spine. Experienced Danish defender Bürki has arrived from Odense, while Debrachi, Meyer, and Zürki will add dynamism to the midfield. They will be tasked with compensating for Meihri’s move to Genoa.
Dinamo Zagreb enter the qualifying rounds without any official competitive matches under their belts. Mario Kovačević’s squad returned from their break a month ago and has played three friendlies against Slovenian clubs: resounding wins over Radomlje (3-0) and Grosuplje (9-0), followed by a high-scoring victory against Koper (4-2). A 0-0 stalemate against Ukrainian side Cherkasy stands as a separate, more subdued result. A crucial detail: in the first two friendlies, the Croats fielded completely different line-ups for each half, with more than half of the goals coming from reserves and young players. However, against Koper and Cherkasy, the first-choice XI played for at least 60-65 minutes. The outcome was 4 goals against Koper and a blank against Cherkasy. The attacking power of the starting eleven is still inconsistent, but their physical conditioning is already close to optimal.
Dinamo’s transfer activity has been targeted. The main acquisition is young winger Dani Rodríguez from Barcelona. However, this is an investment for the future; the Spaniard is currently undergoing an adaptation period and is unlikely to start. The primary attacking force remains unchanged. Up front, Dion Drena Beljo sets the tone with 31 goals last season. He is a classic finisher who punishes any mistake in the penalty area. He is supported in the creative department by Miha Zajc (8 goals) and Arber Hoxha (7 goals). Both are engines of the attack, capable of both providing assists and shooting themselves. The major loss is Luka Stojković. The attacking midfielder is suspended and will not take to the field. This is a significant blow: Stojković scored seven goals last season and was the key link between midfield and attack. Without him, the creative burden falls entirely on Zajc and Hoxha. Even with this absence, Dinamo’s attacking potential remains overwhelming by the standards of their opponent.
The match will be officiated by Bulat Sariyev from Kazakhstan.
Last season, the referee oversaw three matches in the Conference League. He averaged 3 yellow cards per game, did not award any penalties, and sent off no players. In the Kazakh national championship, Sariyev officiates slightly more strictly, averaging 3.89 yellow cards per match.
Main Prediction: Dinamo Zagreb to Win at odds of 1.99
Dinamo possesses the experience and the class. But the key factor is that Thun, playing at home, adopts an attacking style and is not adept at shutting down a game. This was evident from their friendly results and throughout last season. Such an open brand of football provides an ideal environment for Dinamo’s quick and technically gifted attacking players, who excel at exploiting space. The Croats will simply punish their opponents for this boldness on the counter-attack and through superior finishing. The selection is a bet on a Dinamo Zagreb victory.
Prediction on Total Goals: Over 2.5 Goals at odds of 1.68
The hosts rarely leave their home ground without scoring, especially with the support of the crowd in such a historic match for the club. At the same time, Thun’s defense consistently makes errors, a fact backed up by the 29 goals they conceded over half a season in the league. In this scenario, Dinamo should score a couple of goals, but Thun is also capable of grabbing a consolation strike. Therefore, a wager on over 2.5 total goals looks logical.
I'm confident that Dynamo Zagreb will win the first leg of the Champions League second qualifying round against Thun. The Croatian side is clearly the stronger team and should secure an away victory.
I expect an open game with plenty of goals – it will be an exciting match. I believe a scoring draw is the right result.
I'm taking Dinamo Zagreb with a 0 handicap. On paper, they're significantly stronger. Thun won the title, but half their squad has left. Dinamo is a very strong mid-tier team in Europe and should secure the win.
I'm confident that Dinamo Zagreb will beat Toun on July 21 at 21:00. The Croatian side is simply the stronger team on paper and in form, and the odds on their win are too good to pass up. This is a straightforward bet on quality.
I am confident that Dinamo Zagreb will win even away from home, delighting their fans with a strong performance.
I’m backing Dinamo Zagreb to win this match. Thun barely scraped into the Champions League qualifiers by winning their league group despite a terrible end to the season, and their form hasn’t improved—just two wins in their last 11 games, with seven losses. While they’ve been strong at home historically and have scored in 14 of their last 15 home matches, that’s their only real edge. Dinamo Zagreb, on the other hand, are in red-hot form with a 22-match unbeaten streak, including 19 wins. They’ve been sharp in pre-season friendlies, scoring freely, and have netted at least once away from home in their last 11 games. Given their European experience and current momentum, the Croatian side should handle this comfortably.
I’m taking a risk on this match and betting on Over 2.5 goals. Dinamo Zagreb is a team that can play to the scoreline and shut opponents down, but their games often end up high-scoring anyway. Thun surprised everyone last season by clinching the Swiss title early, and for most of the campaign they were relentless in attack, scoring at least two goals in nearly every match—whether against Winterthur or Basel and Young Boys. Yes, they faded at the end, but that was likely due to a massive points lead and lost motivation.
Thun has since sold key players like top scorer Rastoder to Panathinaikos and Bertone to Luzern, both of whom did heavy lifting in midfield and attack. Dinamo Zagreb reclaimed their title and won the cup, no surprise after Rijeka’s upset last season. The Croats went nearly unbeaten in the league, scored 98 goals, and conceded regularly. I’m backing Over 2.5 goals here, as Thun will want to maximize their home advantage.
Player Bet: With Thun’s attacking line reshuffled, I’m not looking their way yet. Dinamo Zagreb has a reliable scorer in Dion Drena Beljo, so I’m backing him to find the net.
I'm confident both teams will score in this Champions League qualifier. Thun are shaky defensively but have shown they can find the net, while Dinamo Zagreb arrive in sharp attacking form after high-scoring friendlies. With the visitors' winless streak and Thun's first-ever UCL match, expect an open contest with goals on both sides.
I'm confident there will be goals in this match. The attacking quality on both sides, combined with defensive vulnerabilities, makes it highly likely that we'll see the net bulge. No doubt about it—goals are coming.
I am confident that Dinamo Zagreb will win this match. Their vast European experience and superior individual skill make them the clear favorites. Thun's open style of play will create attacking chances, but their defense is prone to positional errors, which Dinamo will exploit.
Dinamo Zagreb knows how to punish opponents for leaving free spaces. With better ball control, they will force Thun to defend extensively. I expect a vibrant, high-scoring game where the Croatian giants' class secures the victory.
I'm confidently backing the first half total to go over 2.5 goals in this Champions League qualifier between Thun and Dinamo Zagreb. Thun, the Swiss champions, are at home and will throw everything into this first leg to build an advantage, while Dinamo Zagreb, the Croatian champions and European regulars, have the quality to dictate play on the road. Both sides are at full strength, and I expect an open, attacking match with goals coming early.
I'm backing the hosts to avoid defeat here. Their recent form and home advantage give them a clear edge, and I don't see the visitors having enough firepower to overturn them. The value lies in backing the home side to come away with at least a draw.

I'm confident the away team will secure a decisive victory.
I predict the home team will win, but this will be no easy stroll. Both sides will find the match grueling. The visitors are resilient, and the hosts will have to dig deep to secure the victory.

I'm confident we'll win this match. Our preparation has been sharp, and the team's momentum is clearly in our favor. There's no reason to expect anything less than a decisive victory.
I believe football is the world's most popular team sport, where the objective is to score more goals than the opponent by kicking the ball into their net using any body part except the hands. It's not just a competition—it's a cultural phenomenon that brings people together across the globe. With countless leagues and tournaments worldwide, football's unifying power is unmatched, and I'm confident it will continue to dominate as the ultimate sport for generations to come.
I confidently take this forecast as is. My reasoning is straightforward: the evidence supports this outcome without need for further elaboration. This is my final and firm position.

I'm confident there will be goals in this match. The attacking quality on both sides, combined with defensive vulnerabilities, makes it highly likely that we'll see the net bulge. No doubt about it—goals are coming.
Both teams are attacking and entertaining, and despite being underdogs, Thun at home have the firepower to get on the scoresheet. I'm confident both sides will find the net here.
I'm confident that defense will clearly dominate offense in this game. The matchup and recent form both point to a low-scoring, tightly contested battle where attacking plays struggle to break through.
I'm confident that Thun will not score a single goal in this match. Their attacking form has been inconsistent, and the opposition's defense is disciplined enough to keep a clean sheet. This bet is straightforward—Thun won't find the net.
I’m backing Dinamo Zagreb to win this match. Thun barely scraped into the Champions League qualifiers by winning their league group despite a terrible end to the season, and their form hasn’t improved—just two wins in their last 11 games, with seven losses. While they’ve been strong at home historically and have scored in 14 of their last 15 home matches, that’s their only real edge. Dinamo Zagreb, on the other hand, are in red-hot form with a 22-match unbeaten streak, including 19 wins. They’ve been sharp in pre-season friendlies, scoring freely, and have netted at least once away from home in their last 11 games. Given their European experience and current momentum, the Croatian side should handle this comfortably.
