-----------------------------
Dinamo Zagreb will host Anderlecht at Stadion Maksimir in their second Europa League league-phase match. Dinamo aim to bounce back from their derby defeat to Hajduk Split, while Anderlecht arrive with confidence after securing a late win over Cercle Brugge.

Team Analysis:
Dinamo Zagreb will look to bounce back from their derby defeat and improve their attacking performance after a goalless Europa League opener. Anderlecht arrive with confidence following a dramatic late win over Cercle Brugge but must tighten their defence after losing their first European match to Lyon.

Player Situation:
Dinamo Zagreb could be without Aleks Stojakovic, while Luka Stojkovic may feature more prominently if fully fit. Anderlecht face defensive concerns ahead of the clash, with Giulian Biancone sidelined and Andrew Omobamidele's availability uncertain.

Result Prediction:
Dinamo Zagreb will aim to bounce back from their derby defeat and secure their first Europa League win, with home advantage in their favour. Anderlecht showed fighting spirit in their latest victory, but defensive weaknesses could make this a tough challenge for the visitors.

Predicted Result: Dinamo Zagreb 2-1 Anderlecht.
