Team News
Mario Kovačević has no reported injuries, granting him a complete squad from which to pick.
Dominik Kotarski is set to begin with Niko Galešić, Sergi Domínguez, Stjepan Radeljić and Matteo Pérez Vinlöf ahead of him. Dinamo have yet to concede in either of their Europa League games so far, a marked improvement on their past performances in the tournament.
Josip Mišić is set to anchor midfield, with Iker Almena, Aleks Stojaković, Luka Ivanušec and Arbër Hoxha operating in more advanced roles. Such a setup should enable Dinamo to dictate possession while still sending numbers into the attacking third.
Dion Beljo is likely to lead the attack after converting the crucial penalty against Anderlecht. That remains Dinamo’s only Europa League goal this season, coming from their 20th attempt of the campaign.
Dick Schreuder is missing Dele Thomas, Dušan Tadić, Bram Nuytinck, Emre Mor, Philippe Sandler and Tobias Storm, leaving NEC with a threadbare defence and attack.
Gonzalo Crettaz is set to start behind Gabriel Brás, Perr Schuurs and Deveron Fonville. With a number of defensive options unavailable, NEC will need to remain organised defensively against a Dinamo side that has been particularly strong at home.
Kevin Kers and Clement Bischoff are set to play as wing-backs, with Noé Lebreton and Darko Nejašmić forming the central midfield duo. NEC may spend lengthy periods without the ball, so their ability to retain possession after winning it back will be especially vital.
Jamiro Monteiro and Tjaronn Chery are set to support Bryan Linssen. Chery scored against Levski and remains NEC’s top Europa League scorer, but the visitors have yet to score in any European away game this season, which is hard to ignore.
Odds
Dinamo Zagreb Win: 1.64
DRAW: 4.42
Nec Nijmegen Win: 4.86
