Match Prediction: Dinamo Zagreb vs. Celta Vigo
Dinamo is traditionally resilient and remains unbeaten in the current Europa League season. After the first three rounds, Mario Kovacevic's side has collected seven out of a possible nine points. Overall, the Croatians have suffered only one defeat in their last six matches in this European competition. They are particularly strong at home, remaining unbeaten in their last five home Europa League matches, four of which were victories.
Celta Vigo also shows decent form, winning two of their last three Europa League matches this season. However, it's important to note that both victories were achieved at home. Their only away game ended in defeat, which is not surprising, as away matches tend to be more challenging for the Spaniards. Playing away, Celta has won only three of their last 12 Europa League matches (five draws, four losses).
Prediction: Dinamo Zagreb to win or draw
