Salzburg began their European campaign with back-to-back draws against AC Milan and Chelsea in September. The Croatian out has displayed some solid football thus far in the Champions League to earn points against European giants. Against Chelsea, at Stamford Bridge, Noah Okafor’s 75th-minute strike canceled out Raheem Sterling’s opener to share the spoils. Meanwhile, in the domestic circuit, the Red Bulls, are sitting at the top of the league standings, having collected 23 points from 10 games, two points more than second-placed side SK Sturm Graz.
Dinamo Zagreb, on the other hand, have made an impressive start to their HNL title-defence, having won ten of their opening 11 games to be sitting at the summit of the standings, with 31 points, 11 more than second-placed side Hajduk Split. In their last outing against Slaven Belupo, the Citizens opened the scoring through Antun Markovic’s own goal, before Bruno Petkovic, Petar Bockaj and Luka Ivanusec netted once each to secure the win. Meanwhile, in the European stage, Dinamo Zagreb secured a surprise 1-0 win over Chelsea on September 6 before losing 3-1 to Milan six days later.
