Dinamo Zagreb host Ludogorets in the second leg of the Champions League third qualifying round on Tuesday.
The Bulgarian outfit were condemned to a 2-1 loss in last week’s second leg and will be looking to overturn their deficit.
Dinamo Zagreb were denied a fourth straight win in the 2022-23 HNL campaign as they were held 1-1 by Varazdin last Friday.
They are now unbeaten in each of their last 18 games in all competitions, since April’s 1-0 loss to Hajduk Split.
They have now turned their sights to the Champions League qualifiers where they will look to pick up where they left off last time out, when they beat Ludogorets 2-1 away.
Meanwhile, Ludogorets head into Tuesday on a one-win streak in their last four games in all competitions, losing twice and claiming a draw in that span.
They are currently second in the Bulgarian top flight having picked up 10 points in their first four games of the new season.
Ludogorets are unbeaten in all but one of their last six away games in all competitions, claiming four wins and one draw.
