Dinamo Zagreb vs Celta Vigo Predicted Lineups

Dinamo Zagreb Predicted XI: Nevistic; Goda, McKenna, Dominguez, Ljubicic; Misic, Vidovic, Bakrar; Beljo, Hoxha, Stojkovic

Dinamo Zagreb have four players sidelined with injuries: Mateo Lisica (knee), Moreno Zivkovic (muscle), Raul Torrente (cruciate ligament tear) and Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel (hamstring). These absences weaken their depth, but recent signing Ismael Bennacer could feature from the bench if fit.

Celta Vigo Predicted XI: Radu; Mingueza, Starfelt, Rodriguez, Alonso; Beltran, Roman Gonzalez, Carreira; Aspas, Iglesias, Zaragoza

Celta Vigo will miss Jones El-Abdellaoui (illness) and Williot Swedberg (foot injury, out until late November). Fran Beltrán is doubtful with a calf issue, but Iago Aspas remains a key threat up front.

Dinamo Zagreb and Celta Vigo Current Form and Standings

Dinamo Zagreb have enjoyed a solid Europa League campaign, unbeaten in three games with seven points (WWD) after 3-1 home wins over Fenerbahce and Maccabi Tel Aviv, plus a dramatic 1-1 draw at Malmo where Bruno Cardoso Varela scored in the 96th minute. They've netted seven goals while conceding three, sitting fourth overall. Domestically, they're second in the Croatian HNL with 25 points from 12 matches (eight wins, one draw, three losses), leading the attack with 24 goals but struggling defensively—no clean sheets in eight games across all comps. Their all-comps form reads WLWDLW, boosted by a 2-1 league win over Rijeka last weekend.

Celta Vigo, in their first European outing since 2016-17, sit ninth with six points (LWW) following a 2-1 home loss to Stuttgart, then 3-1 and 2-1 triumphs over PAOK and Nice. They've scored six and conceded four. In La Liga, they're eighth with 18 points from 12 games (five wins, three draws, four losses), unbeaten in seven (DDWWWW) including recent victories over Levante (2-1), Osasuna (1-0), Puerto de Vega (2-0 in Copa del Rey) and Nice. Their attack is fluid, but away form needs sharpening.

Dinamo Zagreb vs Celta Vigo: Key Players to Watch

Dion Beljo (Dinamo Zagreb) - The 21-year-old forward has five goals in 11 games this season, thriving on home soil with two Europa strikes already. His pace could test Celta's aging defense.

Iago Aspas (Celta Vigo) - At 38, the veteran maestro has three goals and four assists in La Liga. His vision and finishing make him lethal in transitions, especially against Dinamo's high line.
