Action continues in the UEFA Europa League as Dinamo Zagreb and Celta Vigo go head-to-head at Stadion Maksimir on Thursday. Mario Kovacevic’s men head into the midweek clash on a run of four consecutive home victories and will be looking to extend this impressive streak.

Dinamo Zagreb now turn their focus to the Europa League, where they kicked off their campaign with back-to-back victories over Fenerbahce and Maccabi Tel Aviv before playing out a 1-1 draw with Malmo on October 23.
Celta Vigo, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 defeat against German Bundesliga side Stuttgart in their Europa League opener on September 25 before picking up successive victories over PAOK and OGC Nice.
