Dinamo Zagreb vs Betis Prediction Europa League

Dinamo Zagreb vs Betis Prediction and Betting Tips for the UEFA Europa League clash scheduled for Thursday, December 11, 2025, at 17:45 GMT. The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 5 and Discovery+, live from Stadion Maksimir in Zagreb. In this article, you’ll discover Europa League Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.

Dinamo Zagreb have failed to win any of their last three Europa League matches.
Betis remain unbeaten away from home in 11 competitive games this season.
Dinamo have scored in seven of their last eight home fixtures.
Both sides still have everything to play for in the Europa League group stage.

Dinamo Zagreb come into this one with mixed emotions. The Croatian champions started their European campaign brightly but have stumbled in recent weeks. After back-to-back defeats to Celta Vigo and Lille by a painful 7-0 aggregate, their confidence took a hit. Still, Mario Kovačević’s men showed spirit in domestic play, grabbing a 1-1 draw in Saturday’s derby with Hajduk Split—thanks to Arber Hoxha’s 90+12’ equalizer. Can that late drama spark a turnaround in Europe? It’s hard to say, but the energy from Maksimir might help. Dinamo’s home record remains solid, with five wins in their last seven matches there.

Injuries could complicate things, though. Moris Valincic, Raul Torrente, and Robert Mudrazija are all sidelined, leaving holes in both defense and midfield. Without key depth, Dinamo may struggle to contain Betis’ fluid attack. But this is a proud club, used to upsetting bigger names on European nights. The question is: will they find that spark again under the Zagreb lights?

For Betis, the mood is far more upbeat. Manuel Pellegrini’s side have quietly built one of the best away records in Europe, unbeaten in 11 road games this season. That’s no small feat. Their blend of patience and precision was on display in recent Europa League wins over Lyon and Utrecht. The Andalusians aren’t just hard to beat; they’re confident, scoring two or more goals in seven of their last nine away matches. “We’re not done yet,” Pellegrini hinted after their narrow 2-1 home win over Utrecht. That’s a bold statement, but maybe the right one.

Still, it’s not all smooth sailing. Junior Firpo is sidelined with a hamstring issue, while Hector Bellerin and Isco also remain out. Defensive gaps could open opportunities for Dinamo’s front line. But Betis’ attack looks relentless: Cucho Hernández and Abde Ezzalzouli have found form at the perfect time. Expect both teams to go for it. This one feels like a story of goals, nerves, and maybe one decisive moment. And as far as Europa League Predictions go, it’s shaping up to be one of the more unpredictable clashes this week.

Real Betis head coach Manuel Pellegrini has included academy talent Carlos de Roa in the squad to face Dinamo Zagreb in the UEFA Europa League.

Both Teams to Score @1.72
Both teams have shown attacking intent throughout the Europa League campaign. Dinamo Zagreb have scored in seven of their last eight home matches, even against tougher opposition. Despite recent European setbacks, their offense remains proactive, with Dion Drena Beljo and Dejan Ljubičić leading the charge. Betis, meanwhile, haven’t failed to find the net in any of their 11 away games this season. They’ve scored two or more goals in seven of those fixtures. Pellegrini’s men push high and leave gaps at the back—something Dinamo can exploit. Given Betis’ attacking consistency and Dinamo’s home resilience, both sides finding the net feels likely. Statistically, Betis average 1.9 goals per game away from home, while Dinamo concede an average of 1.6 at Maksimir. The conditions are set for a lively, open game. “Both Teams to Score” looks like a smart and justified play here.
