Dinamo Zagreb started the season in great style. They won the Croatian Suprcup against Hajduk, then managed to eliminate Slovenian champion Koper in qualifications for UEFA Champions league, won against Hrvatski Dragovoljac in first round of domestic championship. Everything seems good at that time. But then German TV station ZDF annoounced some information that Dinamo Zagreb fixed games in the past. (The cup final against Hajduk some year ago is under ivestigation). I don't know if it is the reason for the bad results lately, but it is a fact that Dinamo was eliminated from UEFA Champions league from Sheriff Tiraspol from Moldova, lost at home from Rijeka in domestic championship and coach Velimir Zajec resigned. I am not sure if this crisis is now end, but some positive signals are shown. Dinamo appointed Vahid Halilhodzic as new coach and he made two victories - against Karlovac with 4:2 in the championship and against Gyor from Hungary in qualifications for UEFA Europe league. One new player, Rukavina is bought and it seems he is the right man for Dinamo.

Now about Slaven Belupo. They are very solid at home and only few teams are able to win in Koprivnica. For sure Dinamo is one of them, but maybe in some different circumstances. I don't believe Dinamo can win today. Yes, Slaven lost in last round from Split, but I must say Split is decent team and they will make troubles at home even to the best. Slaven coach Petkovic will surely ask the maximum from his players against actual champion. It is natural that every team is motivated when playing against Dinamo Zagreb. The atmosphere in Koprivnica will be another advantage for Slaven. I expect a full stadium and big support from the fans. In situation like this I believe draw is very possible. Dinamo players are surely very tired, they played against Gyor at Thursday. Even more, the second leg againt Gyor is just four days later. So, I believe both coaches, Petkovic from Slaven and Halilhodzic from Dinamo to be satisfied with one poin.
