Dinamo Zagreb arrive at this UCL play-off leg in devastating form: 4 wins from 5, 14 goals scored, only 2 conceded, and 3 clean sheets in their last five. They dismantled Kauno Zalgiris 5-0 at home and 2-1 away in the previous round. Viking are competitive in the Eliteserien but travel with five absentees, including Veton Berisha, and have conceded in 4 of their last 5 matches.
The key numbers: Zagreb have hit over 2.5 goals in 3 of 5 recent games and average 2.8 goals per game scored alone. Viking's last 5 fixtures produced over 2.5 in 4 of 5, with BTTS in 4 of those. Combined, both sides have scored in all 10 of their respective last-5 matches.
The model lands firmly on Over 2.5 goals. Zagreb's attack is relentless and Viking's defence leaks. At 1.67 (bet365), this is the number to back. Alt: BTTS YES at 1.67 if you want both sides involved.
