Viking FK vs GNK Dinamo Zagreb

Lyse Arena
2026/2027

Match Preview

Viking host Dinamo Zagreb in the second leg of their Champions League play-off, with a spot in the league phase at stake. Viking are chasing a first Champions League appearance since 1992, while Dinamo want to reach the league phase for the second time in three seasons. Viking currently sit second in the Eliteserien, and Dinamo are unbeaten so far in the HNL. Dinamo arrive full of confidence, having thrashed Rudeš 4-0 last time out as part of four wins in five. Dion Drena Beljo leads their attack with five goals this season, while Lukas Kačavenda has scored in three straight matches. Viking's form dipped with a 2-1 loss to Rosenborg, though captain Zlatko Tripić keeps contributing goals and assists as he has in each of the last three seasons. The two clubs have never met before. The first leg in Zagreb on 18 August will shape the mood heading into this return fixture, but Dinamo's European pedigree makes them slight favourites overall. Our prediction: 1-1
