Historical Statistical Verdict

Taken together, the historical and recent Viking vs Dinamo Zagreb stats point to a finely balanced second leg with a slight statistical edge towards the Croatian side. The head-to-head record is level after a 2-2 draw in Zagreb, and the goal averages from that match show both clubs capable of creating and conceding chances. However, season-to-date Champions League form tilts in Dinamo Zagreb’s favour: they are unbeaten across five matches, scoring more than twice per game on average, while Viking’s European sample is limited to one high-scoring draw. With the tie returning to Lyse Arena, Viking gain home advantage for the first time in this matchup, but Dinamo Zagreb’s broader record of wins, goals scored, and defensive stability suggests they enter the second leg with stronger underlying form, even if the aggregate scoreline remains delicately poised.
