Slovan Bratislava vs Dinamo Zagreb

Dinamo Zagreb have won a UEFA Champions League/European Cup match having conceded the opening goal for the first time. The Croatian side had lost 33 and drawn five of their previous 38 games when conceding first.

Dinamo Zagreb have won consecutive away games in the UEFA Champions League/European Cup for the first time, having won only one of their previous 27 matches on the road in the competition beforehand (1-0 against Ajax in November 1998).

Slovan Bratislava have lost their last four home games in major European competition, equaling their worst ever such run of defeats (also four games between December 2011and November 2014).

Slovan Bratislava are winless in all four of their European meeting with Dinamo Zagreb, two games in the Cup Winners’ Cup in 1969 (D1 L1) and two in the UEFA Cup in 2000 (D1 L1).

Dinamo Zagreb’s last meeting with a Slovakian opponent came back in the 2018-19 UEFA Europa League group stage, beating Spartak Trnava twice (2-1 away, 3-1 home).

Slovan Bratislava have lost each of their last six matches in major European competition, including all three in the UEFA Champions League this season. This is their longest such losing streak since December 2014, when they lost nine in a row in the UEFA Europa League.

After beating RB Salzburg last time out, Dinamo Zagreb will be aiming to win consecutive UEFA Champions League matches for the first time since November 1998 (3-1 v FC Porto and 1-0 v Ajax).

Slovan Bratislava have lost each of their last three home matches in major European competition. If they suffer a defeat here, they’ll equal their longest ever such losing streak (four games – December 2011-November 2014).
