Villarreal vs. Dinamo Zagreb Tip & Quotes, 15.04.2021 – 21:00
Villarreal is undoubtedly one of the top teams in the Europa League and remains unbeaten after ten matches. The second leg will take place next Thursday at 21:00 in the quarter-finals of the Europa League between Villarreal and Dinamo Zagreb. The Spaniards were already able to make the first leg victorious with 1:0 in the distance. Thus, on Thursday at the Estadio de la Ceramica, a draw would be enough to enter the semi-final. Whether this can succeed and how the odds relate to the match is to be analyzed in the following betting tip forecast.
(Status of quotas: 13.04.2021, 10:37 a.m.)
The Spaniards had to compete in the distance and did not embarrass themselves at Dinamo Zagreb. Guests had the first chance, but did not know how to use it. The Croats had less possession of the ball, but were very defensive over long distances and hardly allowed anything. After 12 minutes Zagreb had the first good opportunity, but did not use it. After 27 minutes Dinamo networked to the lead via counter (27th). However, the goal did not count due to an offside position. Shortly before the break, the guests were awarded a penalty. Gerard turned this into a 1-0 break for the guests. After the change of sides, the home team showed problems and were no longer as actively involved in the game as in the first round. Opportunities were scarcely sown and consequently it remained at the end of the narrow victory of the guests.
The Spaniards have played heavily in the Europa League so far and are unbeaten. The group phase ended with four victories and a draw in first place in Group I. The last match against the last Qarabag in the table was even cancelled. With 13 points taken, the gap to Maccabi Tel Aviv, second in the league, measures two meters. In the intermediate round it was necessary to pass against Salzburg. Both duels should be won (2:0, 2:1). Kiev had to be defeated in the quarter-finals. Even here, two sovereign 2-0 successes jumped out. The first leg against Zagreb was won 1-0 in the distance.
With 23 goals scored so far, the Villarreal offensive can certainly be seen. The defensive performance can also be rated as very good. Only six goals were collected in ten duels. Paco Alcacer and Gerard Moreno are the best attackers in their own ranks with five goals each.
The dress rehearsal on the last match day in La Liga was quite backfired. After three consecutive victories, the team suffered a 1-2 loss at home against Osasuna on the last match day. Villarreal finished 7th in the league with 46 points.

Like Villarreal, Zagreb played undefeated in the preliminary round of the Europa League. In the group K four wins and two draws came about. With 14 points taken, the lead on the second-place Wolfsberger AC amounted to a total of four counters. The first big surprise was taken care of in the intermediate round. After a 3:2 and a 1:0 Krasnodar should be switched off. There was also a small football miracle in the quarter-finals. This one called Tottenham to the plan. The first leg was lost by 0:2 in the distance. The second leg then ensured a sovereign 3-0 victory and won the quarter-finals. Will it be possible to equalize 0:1 from the first leg?
The Croatian offensive looks at 16 goals scored. No other team impresses across the competition with such a strong defensive performance. In eleven matches, only six goals were conceded. The defense is like the rock in the surf. With five goals, Mislav Orsic is the best attacker in his own ranks.
At the national level, the rehearsal was completed on the last match day with a 2-0 victory over Lok Zagreb. 64 points won are enough for the first place in the table at this time.

A look at the quotas reveals Villarreal as a clear favourite in this approach. Nevertheless, this pairing should by no means turn out to be a self-propelled pair. Zagreb is a very unpleasant opponent. The Spaniards have won all home matches in the Europa League and will continue this performance against the Croats. As part of our betting tip forecast, a tight match is to be expected. There will be few goals in this. For this reason, it is advisable to bet on less than 2.5 goals.
