Dinamo Zagreb will host Chelsea in a UEFA champions League group stage fixture at the Stadion Maksimir on Tuesday night. The hosts came through three qualifying rounds to earn a spot among Europe’s elite, while Chelsea finished third in the Premier League last term to qualify for the group stages of the continental competition. The Croatian outfit are heading into the match on the back of a 3-1 victory over Rijneke in their domestic league fixture last Friday, while Chelsea got the better of West Ham United 2-1 in a Premier League match, a day later.

Dinamo Zagreb have made a strong start to the 2022-23 Croatian Football League season, recording seven wins from their opening eight games to occupy top spot in the standings. In their last game against Rijeka, goals from Rasmus Lauristen, Dario Spikic and Mislav Orsic helped the Purgeri secure all three points and take their total tally to 22. Meanwhile Ante Cacic’s side had got the better of Shkupi, Ludogorets and Bodo/Glimt in the qualifying rounds to secure a spot in the group stages of the Champions League.

Chelsea, on the other hand, have had a mixed start to their Premier League campaign, registering three wins and a draw to pocket 10 points from six games. In their recent outing against West Ham, the Blues came from behind to secure all three points. Michail Antonio put the Hammers ahead before Ben Chilwell and Kai Havertz netted for Chelsea to secure the win. Thomas Tuchel has reasons to worry as his defence has been leaky, conceding nine goals thus far.
