Europa League: Dinamo Zagreb vs Genk 19/02/2026

Because of the offensive styles of both teams and the expected high tempo, even the raised shots line at a stronger price looks like a value option in this match.

Tonight’s clash at Maksimir has all the ingredients for an open game with a solid number of attempts on goal. Genk play in a direct and proactive manner – they move the ball quickly into the final third and are not hesitant to shoot from various positions, which regularly results in a double-digit shot count per match. That approach almost always increases the overall tempo.

Dinamo rarely slow the pace at home, especially in European fixtures. With the support of their fans and the need to impose themselves, the Blues will look to create through wing play and late runs into the box, but that often leaves space for counterattacks, turning the match into an exchange of chances.

I decided to slightly raise the line and take the bigger odds, which in this context is a positive move. Considering the playing styles of both sides and the expected intensity, even the higher margin looks achievable, with the risk–reward balance clearly on our side.
