International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Dinamo Zagreb and West Ham United are looking forward to this Europa League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.

This looks to be an exciting game with lots of spark and excitement as both contenders are well revitalized since they last ran out on the pitch. Let's go!

These teams have little in common geographically as West Ham United have to travel 1700 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Dinamo Zagreb form and stats

Dinamo participated in Europa League the last season, where they reached the quarter-finals and lost against Villarreal.

Dinamo Zagreb have collected 10 points from their 1. HNL home games so far after 3-1-1. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Dinamo has won four games in a row. The Rijeka match was the last time out without a victory.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Dinamo, as their goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic has completely shut out the opponents for 407 minutes in the 1. HNL.

Dinamo's last game was hosting Sibenik and winning 2-0. Bruno Petković, who usually plays near the opponent's goal, was the declared top player for the side in that fixture, collecting a rating of 8.14 (out of 10). Petković served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 24 successful passes (of 30 total).

In the match before that, Dinamo hosted Sheriff and drew the Champions League game 0-0.

Dinamo are traveling soon after this match as the 1. HNL match at Hajduk Split awaits in three days.

The Dinamo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 5 matches. On the other hand, Dinamo Zagreb have conceded 5 goals.

West Ham United form and stats

Four points from two away games for West Ham United, meaning one draw and one victory in the Premier League so far.

West Ham are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Southampton. Midfield player Declan Rice was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.84/10. Rice hit one key pass, dribled passed the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 83 successful passes (of 87 total).

Preceding that match was the 2-2 draw at home vs Crystal Palace.

A new game in only three days for West Ham United, the Premier League home match versus Manchester United. Busy days.

It's early days yet, but West Ham United has scored 4 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
