The home club usually acts in a 4-3-3 tactical system, favoring a more defensive style of play, attacking through the center aisle. However, and as they play at home, the Polish club should act, in some moments of the match, in a more offensive way. In this drawing, the two players who will have a more offensive mission are Rafa Lopes and Mahir Emreli. Coach Czeslaw Michniewicz should be very confident as he has all the players at his disposal.

The Croatian club usually works in a 4-3-3 tactical system, favoring a more offensive style of play, attacking through the side aisles. Dinamo Zagreb is a team that likes to play in their midfield, in order to lower their block and surprise the “enemy” in the counterattack. At the individual level we highlight the shirt 10, Lovro Majer, a very skilled player in the pass, game vision, dead balls and long-distance shots. The visiting coach should not be able to count on Sadegh Moharrami as he is injured.
