Lukas Kacavenda could start in central midfield alongside Maxime Bernauer and Martin Baturina. Up front, Bruno Petkovic and Juan Cordoba will be absent, so coach Bjelica could use the trio of Dario Spikic, Sandro Kulenovic and Marko Pjaca.

On the visitors' side, striker Karim Adeyemi is getting closer to returning from a hamstring injury, but his chances of playing in this match are still very low. Meanwhile, Serhou Guirassy could be involved to some extent.

If Guirassy is not fit enough to start, Dortmund can use Julian Brandt, Donyell Malen, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens and Maximilian Beier in attack.

Midfielder Kjell Watjen and centre-back Niklas Sule are also out injured, so Waldemar Anton and Nico Schlotterbeck are likely to be in central defence, with defensive midfielders Felix Nmecha and Emre Can in front of them.

Latest predicted lineup for Dinamo Zagreb vs Dortmund

Dinamo Zagreb:

Zagorac; Ristovski, Theophile-Catherine, Torrente, Ogiwara; Kacavenda, Bernauer, Baturina; Spikic, Kulenovic, Pjaca

Borussia Dortmund:

Kobel; Ryerson, Anton, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Nmecha, Can; Malen, Brandt, Bynoe-Gittens; Beier

Latest football commentary Dinamo Zagreb vs Dortmund

Dinamo Zagreb fell behind after just five minutes against Slovan Bratislava, but equalised in the 10th minute and were 2-1 up after half an hour.

Despite winning 4-1, the home team struggled in the first half. Their statistics showed that they only achieved 0.5 xG, three times lower than their opponents' 1.47 xG. However, a dominant performance in the second half helped them take all 3 points.

Nenad Bjelica's side are currently third in the league with 25 points from 14 games, four points behind leaders Hajduk Split. Dinamo Zagreb have lost just one of their last 11 games in all competitions, winning six and drawing four. They have won four of their last six games but have failed to win in their last three home games and have kept just one clean sheet in six at Maksimir.

Meanwhile, Dortmund coach Nuri Sahin temporarily relieved the pressure with a 4-0 win over Freiburg on November 23 in the Bundesliga.

Dortmund started the 2024-25 season with six wins in their first eight games, but then lost five of their next nine. They are currently fifth in the Bundesliga with 19 points, just one point behind fourth-placed Bayer Leverkusen.

Notably, Dortmund have won three of their last four games. The 1-3 defeat to Mainz 05 on 9 November was partly explained by Emre Can's red card in the 27th minute when the score was still 0-0. In the win over Sturm Graz, they had 66% possession and almost 2 xG but could only win thanks to Donyell Malen's 85th-minute goal.

However, Dortmund's away form is worrying as they have lost all six of their last matches, conceding 18 goals and scoring just six.
