FC Astana – D. Zagreb : Preview & Prediction
This Wednesday, August 2, 2023, kicking off at 4 p.m., sees the return leg of the Champion’s League quarter-final qualifier, following a 4-0 first-leg win for Dinamo Zagreb of Croatia. The situation is reversed this time, with Kazakhstan’s Astana hosting in a bid to reverse the trend. The match will take place at the Astana Arena and will be officiated by Dutch referee Mr Higler. The Astana team clearly have no choice but to go all out to catch up with their visitors, but this looks very complicated to achieve. Especially as the home side have now gone 3 games without a win in a row. Prior to the disappointment in Croatia, Astana had played out a goalless draw in the league, and this weekend saw another 1-0 defeat away from home on matchday 17 in the domestic championship. Dinamo, for their part, confirmed their fine performance on the European stage with another comprehensive 3-0 league victory over Istra.
