Latest football commentary on Dinamo Zagreb vs Fenerbahce

Dinamo Zagreb's seven-year streak of Croatian championships ended last season when HNK Rijeka overtook them to claim the title, forcing the Blues to drop down to the Europa League.

That defeat leaves Mario Kovacevic and his team with much to prove, especially after a turbulent season with four different coaches, including Fabio Cannavaro – former Juventus star – and Sergej Jakirovic, who helped them win the title before.

Despite their woes last season, Dinamo remain a force to be reckoned with in Europe. They made it to the Champions League group stage and only missed out on a knockout spot due to a poor goal difference.

The Croatian side have also had an impressive record in the Europa League, losing just two of their 19 group stage games since December 2014, keeping 10 clean sheets. Their last appearance in the 2021-22 group stage saw Dinamo reach the knockout play-offs, losing 3-2 over two legs to Sevilla.

History is on Dinamo’s side, as they have never lost to Fenerbahce in European competition (W1 D1). Dinamo’s record against Turkish clubs is also balanced: W2 D2 L2.

Meanwhile, Fenerbahce brought to Croatia a four-game unbeaten away run in the Europa League (W2 D2), a run only surpassed in the 2012-13 season, when they reached the semi-finals.

However, the “Yellow Canaries” are in a transitional period. Domenico Tedesco has just replaced Jose Mourinho – who was fired after the defeat in the Champions League play-off round against Benfica. The strategist who led the Belgian national team had a rather shaky start with two draws and one win in three times in charge.

Off the pitch, the club has also changed as Sadettin Saran succeeds Ali Koc as president, tasked with ending a title drought that has lasted from the 2022-23 season.

In the Super Lig, Galatasaray are six points ahead after just six rounds, so the Europa League is considered the clearest chance for Fenerbahce to seek a title this season, even though they only dropped here after failing in the Champions League qualifiers.

The Turkish side need to forget the sad memories of last season, when they were eliminated by Rangers in the Europa League round of 16 on penalties, despite drawing 3-3 on aggregate and narrowly escaping the group stage.
