Juventus vs Dinamo Zagreb Betting Tips & Odds

by JohnnyBet from

As far as Champions League matches go, this is as straightforward a home win as we are likely to see. Isn’t it?

Dinamo Zagreb: pointless, goalless, hapless. A goal difference of -13 after just four matches tells its own story.

Even somebody with a passing interest in football knows how good Juventus are, and the loss of Paul Pogba has been counteracted somewhat by the goals of Gonzalo Higuain and the transformation of Paolo Dybala from ‘talented youngster’ to world class talent. The Old Lady have only lost two competitive matches all season, and it is unlikely that Zagreb are going to be able to inflict a third.

Isn’t it?

1. Juventus vs Dinamo Zagreb Betting Odds

Expect a landslide: that’s what the bookmakers are predicting anyway when they price Juventus as short as 1.16 to win this match.

The draw is available at 7.00 with bet365, while the Zagreb victory - they couldn’t could they? - is available at a rather handsome 15.00 with the same bookie.

2. Juventus vs Dinamo Zagreb Betting Predictions

All punters have to do here is predict whether a) Juventus will rest players ahead of more challenging fixtures to come, and b) take their foot off the gas on the pitch and allow Zagreb to even score a goal, let alone win the match. Because let’s face it, we’re not going to be backing Juve to win at this kind of price; we are instead using the handicap markets to our advantage.

The Old Lady have won ten Serie A matches at the time of writing, which gives us some nice and easy maths to work out: 60% have come by a single goal margin, 10% by a two-goal cushion, 20% by a three-goal margin and 10% by a whopping four goals. So, the conclusion we would draw, is that almost half the time Juve are beating sides better than Zagreb by two or more goals.

Now let’s reflect upon the Italian stallions’ form in the Champions League this season. They were held, surprisingly, to draws by both Lyon and Sevilla at home, and that certainly has to be taken into consideration.

But their 4-0 defeat of Dinamo was as easy as it gets, and really they probably could have extended that margin of victory if they really wanted to. The Croatians are game, plucky and all those other nouns, but they simply lack the quality to hold teams like Juventus at bay. The fact that they are five points behind the unheralded Rijeka in the race for the Croatian 1. HNL title speaks volumes.

They’ve been trounced in three of their four Champions League matches: 0-3 to Lyon (away), 0-4 to Juventus (home) and 0-4 to Sevilla (away). We’re even willing to overlook the 0-1 loss at home to the Spaniards, given hoe poor Sevilla are on their travels.

So, by the power of deduction, we can surmise that Juventus are going to win this match comfortably. So, out bet will be Juventus to Win & Over 2.5 Goals at 2.50 with bet365.
