Din. Zagreb

DWWWW

The Blues, Zagreb's dominant force and one of the former Yugoslav league's most decorated clubs, arrive this cup fixture in extraordinary form. Four consecutive victories across this cup campaign reflects a squad operating at the peak of their powers and the collective confidence of a club accustomed to winning the trophies that matter. At Maksimir, one of Eastern European football's most recognisable grounds with its 38,000 capacity, Dinamo generate a home atmosphere that few visiting Croatian sides have been able to overcome. Their squad, featuring multiple Croatian international players, is of a significantly different standard to most domestic opponents.

Rijeka

DLDWW

The Adriatic port club arrive this fixture with mixed emotions, their most recent 3-0 win over Vukovar on the road was a positive result, but the broader recent run of two wins in five reflects the inconsistency of a squad that has competed without finding the level of consistency that has characterised Dinamo's campaign. Away at Maksimir, one of Croatian football's most demanding visiting assignments, they will need to produce one of their most disciplined performances of the season to give themselves a chance in a cup fixture against the division's dominant force.
