Arsenal will take on Dinamo Zagreb in Champions League action on Tuesday evening. The Gunners are 3rd in the Champions League standings ahead of this match while the Modri are 24th. Does that make this an easy home win for our prediction?
It has been a tricky run for Arsenal of late, winning just one of their last five in all competitions. Four of those five games have been at The Emirates, the win a 2-1 North London Derby success over Tottenham.
Three home games so far in the Champions League have seen Arsenal win all of them to nil. Newcastle are the only team to leave North London with a win, that coming in the League Cup.
Zagreb picked up a league win over NK Varazdin in their most recent game, ending a run of seven straight without a success.
They have won three of their four away games in the Champions League so far, including a qualifier. Bayern Munich are the only team to beat them but that was a 9-2 thumping. The quality of the teams they have beaten is nothing compared to Arsenal.
Arsenal have been perfect at home in the Champions League so far. Three games, three wins and no goals conceded. They were in far better form when they last played at home in this competition, however.
Only Ipswich have failed to score against Arsenal in The Gunners' last nine games. Although Dinamo Zagreb have a bit to find in terms of sheer class, they have an outstanding scoring record away from home and can do enough to at least get on the board. Our Arsenal vs Dinamo Zagreb prediction is Arsenal to win and both teams to score.
