Europa League 2020/21 - Round of 16: Dinamo Zagreb (CRO)

[Jordinho]

Dinamo Zagreb

Good to get rid of ManU or Milan.

That is pretty much the perfect draw

one of the weaker teams

bigger teams are mostly drawn against each other

 

[Raziel]

Avoided the Ukraine clubs which with our schedule is a huge bonus (above them being tough)

Avoided the British clubs

A few of competitors will go out

Can't complain too much about the draw

 

[parklane1]

Good draw, COYS.

 

[indospurs]

a very good draw overall for us, but i don't know anything about dinamo zagreb this season

Just checked.. top of the Croatian league. Won their Europa group (Feyonoord, Wolfsberger and CSKA without losing) and just beat Krasnodar in those last round

Must be pretty useful then.

On the flip side, Wolfsberger also went unbeaten against Feyenoord and CSKA Moscow, so not sure that’s a useful yardstick of ability

Dinamo Zagreb will likely be the best team we have played so far though, which hopefully means we aren’t complacent.

 

[P.D.]

Not a bad draw, don't want to be travelling to the Ukraine and should be winnable.

 

[El Guepardo]

Always a decent team. I think they’ll be a tough test for us, but over two legs we should edge it. Can see us not winning away but doing enough in the home leg.

 

[tw12yid]

Won’t be a walkover but then again could have had harder draws. I think the first game is away. Need to get a few goals there otherwise away goals can be an issue in the 2nd leg.

 

[Gazza]

I expect us to go through

 

[StephenH]

Could go either way, it will be down to preparation and injury.

Good to get rid of ManU or Milan.

And one of Shaktar or Roma, and Arsenal or Olympiacos. Arsenal lost both(?) ties vs Olympiacos last year, didn't they?

I would have thought the higher coefficient would have had preference in the event of a clash

 

[Robbo]

What's the problem with both teams playing at home at the same time when no fans are allowed in the stadium and most fans are isolated at home anyway?

 

[yiddo37]

So we're at home on the 11th? Should benefit us with no travelling to/from Croatia before the NL Derby on the 14th.
Should....

The only downside to the switch is, we now have 4 away games on the bounce. Although without fans, that is not too much of a disadvantage right now

 

[Lemonade Money]

Is this going to be payback for the Modric kits?
