Dinamo Zagreb vs Sibenik Prediction: Are Sibenik ready to surprise the champion?

After the first two rounds of the HNL, the only clubs with a 100% record are Dinamo and - Sibenik! It𒐪's a dream return for Sibenik to the first league, and few could have thought that only they would follow the Blues at the top at the beginning of the season. In the first round, they shocked Osijek and then defeated Slaven Belupo, and on Friday, August 16, in the 3rd round, they visit Dinamo. Dinamo next week will start their matches in the Champions League playoff, and maybe their focus is more on that than on this match against Sibenik.

Sibenik as a “general test” before Qarabag. That's Dinamo's schedule, if they had drawn it themselves in Maksimir, it would be difficult to draw it better. Al🦹though, who could have thought that it would be a derby of the third round, that the only two teams with six points from the first two HNL weekends would face each other? However, regardless of everything, the Blues are favorites, and victory is expected. Because of the three points and because of the additional ignition of the engine and confidence before the Champions League play-offs. Perkovic, Stojkovic, and Peric are injured, but that shouldn’t affect the team from Zagreb a lot. In the first 2 rounds, Dinamo won against Istra 5:0 and Osijek 2:1.

Sibenik played attractive football in a very bad second league, so many did not know what to expect from them in the first league competition. They kept all important players, except for Cvijanovic, who was on loan, and brought in a couple of new ones and registered two victories in the first two rounds. First, they surprised Osijek away, and then routinely won against Slaven Belupo. It looks like their composure and confidence in the second division could bring 🎃a very good number of points for them in the best Croatian League.
