Analysis and forecast for the match of the second qualifying round of the Champions League “Astana” – “Dynamo” Zagreb (02.08.2023)
The group stage of the Champions League begins in September. Until then, teams that have not directly received entry have a chance to qualify. On August 2, seven return matches of the second round will be played. In the first of these, at the Astana Arena in Kazakhstan, Astana will host Dinamo Zagreb.

In the first match, the Astana team suffered a crushing defeat with a score of 0:4. The Croats took the initiative throughout the match and attacked. There was an episode with the ball stuck to the crossbar, Josip Chondrich also helped a lot. If it weren’t for his cool game, the score would be indecent.
Zakharyan’s transition from Dynamo to Lazio almost fell through.
“Citizens”, in turn, throughout the match did not create a single sensible moment. Of course, there was a segment at the end where they pushed and took some hits, but they didn’t pose a serious threat. The meeting showed that teams from completely different classes collided.
Can Astana at least get revenge in the second leg? Until recently, they were seen as a bright and uncompromising team, which is gradually progressing under the guidance of former CSKA coach Grigory Babayan. In the first qualifying round for the Champions League, they defeated Dinamo Tbilisi (1:1 and 2:1).

However, Astana’s problems began at home. More recently, he flew out of the Kazakhstan Cup, losing in the semifinals to Ordabasy (1: 0 and 0: 2). In addition, the yellow-blue lost points in the last two games of the national championship. They drew with “Atyrau” (0:0) and lost to “Kyzyl-Zhar” (0:1).
Napoli offered Zenit 25 million euros for Wendel.
Due to failures, the “townspeople” lagged behind the leader “Ordabasy” by three points. At the same time, the opponent has a match in hand. Will the Astana team manage to achieve at least a draw in the next game, or should Babayan focus on the domestic arena and try to overcome Ordabasy? The next match in the Kazakhstan championship will take place in three days.
Last season, Dinamo Zagreb managed to reach the group stage of the Champions League. In the previous stages, they beat Shkupi from North Macedonia (2: 2 and 1: 0), Ludogorets (2: 1 and 4: 2), as well as Bodø-Glimt (0: 1 and 4: 1 ET). The Blues also became Croatian champions.
In the summer, Dinamo Zagreb underwent a head coach change. The position was filled by Igor Bishchan, who had previously managed the Croatian under 21 team for a long period of time. In the debut match, the mentor had a strong opponent – Hajduk. His wards lost with a score of 1: 2.
However, Bishchan quickly corrected himself. In addition to Astana, Dynamo defeated Istra 1961 (3:0). In both meetings, Luka Ivanushets scored goals. In the match with Istra he scored one goal, and scored a hat-trick in the meeting with the “people of the town”.

There is a high probability that the 24-year-old midfielder will score in the next game. At the end of last season, he became Dinamo Zagreb’s top scorer. You can bet that Zagreb will win at the bookmakers at odds of 2.00.
Promes became the top scorer in the history of Spartak in the RPL.
It is possible that Bishchan will resort to experiments and allocate playtime to youngsters. However, even in this situation, one believes more in the victory of his charges than in the fact that Astana will not lose. The history of face-to-face encounters has three games, and in all the Croats beat the Kazakhs dry.
Forecast and bets for the Champions League qualifying match “Astana” – “Dynamo” Zagreb August 2, 2023
Astana lost without a chance in the first match. Despite the fact that the second leg will take place in Kazakhstan, the yellow-blues will most likely lose again. Recently, the results in the Kazakhstan championship have improved. The “townspeople” of the score 0: 4 are unlikely to win back. So maybe it’s better for them to focus on the domestic sphere? Dinamo Zagreb has an order of magnitude better team play, as well as a higher team class and level of superiority. Also, the history of head-to-head encounters is totally on his side.
Tender: victory of Dinamo Zagreb with odds of 2.00.
