The Rossoneri have a hundred per cent winning record against the home team. 

The UEFA Champions League final game is set to take place on Thursday. Dinamo Zagreb will take on Italian giants AC Milan at the Stadion Maksimir, looking to seal their place in the knockout round. 

Dinamo Zagreb have endured mixed results in the Champions League so far. The Croatian outfit have managed to gather only eight points from seven matches with two wins, two draws, and losing another three. Currently languishing at 26th position, this game will be crucial for them as they will have to win this to secure their place in the top 24. 

AC Milan on the other hand have continued their fine form under their new manager Sergio Conceicao. They have already won the Super Cup and now are one of the favourites for securing a direct place in the round of 16. Sergio Conceicao’s side are currently languishing in sixth place with 15 points from seven matches. A win or a draw here will directly see them secure their place in the top eight, allowing them to directly progress to the next round.
