Real Betis vs Dinamo Zagreb Prediction 15.02.2024

• Competition: Europe Conference League
• Date: 15.02.2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Estadio Benito Villamarín (Sevilla)

Every time Betis participates in European competitions, it brings about immense motivation and expectations. This is due to the difficulty of consistently placing in the highly competitive LaLiga. After their recent victory against Cadiz, Betis is currently in 6th place and on track to replicate their previous successes this season. Their aim is to qualify for the Europa League. The Seville-based club has the potential to enter this competition by winning the Conference League, which remains a possibility as Betis is one of the strongest remaining teams. In Group C, they placed behind Rangers and Sparta, so they will commence the knockout phase from the 1/16 finals.

While Dinamo Zagreb may not be as strong a competitor in European competitions as they were in past seasons, they are still a team rich in talent. This once overpoweringly dominant team in the domestic championship now only holds 3rd place, trailing behind Rijeka and Hajduk. Their recent 2-2 draw against Lokomotiv further indicates that things aren’t as they should be. However, in their upcoming match against the Spanish club, Dinamo Zagreb will be free of pressure, which could be their greatest strength. Pilsen ended the group stage of the competition in the rear, with Balkani and Astana forging ahead.

Real Betis vs Dinamo Zagreb pick: Real Betis TO WIN

In their last three LaLiga matches, Betis secured 7 points. However, Pellegrini’s concern lies with an increasing list of injured players, which may have contributed to their slightly subpar performance at the start of the year. Meanwhile, Dinamo Zagreb appears to be faltering in its pursuit of the Croatian championship and doesn’t seem prepared for a powerful opponent in the Conference League’s knockout phase. Despite missing several key players, Betis had the potential to secure an easy win, which could have provided some comfort ahead of their rematch in Zagreb. Our prediction leans towards a win for the home team, possibly with a 2-goal lead.
