Dinamo Zagreb vs Rudes Prediction: Dinamo are the champions of Croatia!

On Sunday at 18:30, Dinamo will conclude the season with a match of the last round of the HNL against the relegated Rudes. It was a turbulent season for the Blues, at times it seemed that they would be left without a trophy, and in the end, they took the double crown. The match will serve as a prelude to a big celebration at Ban Jelacic Square, where the double crown will be celebrated.

In the end, Dinamo Zagreb enjoyed a fantastic season and won the domestic double crown. They have 81 points from 35 games, with 25 wins, 6 draws, and only 4 losses. They have five straight wins against Lokomotiva Zagreb, Varazdin, Rijeka, Osijek, and Slaven Belupo, which makes their recent performance even more impressive. Dinamo Zagreb have a strong winning record against Rudes in the past, winning nine of the previous twelve meetings, but this match will be more as a friendly than a league match for them.

On the other hand, Rudes struggled this season, finishing last in the league with only 8 points from 35 games, and were early relegated. They have a sad 29 defeats, 5 draws and 1 win. Their recent results against Varazdin, Hajduk Split, Istra 1961, and Gorica have been particularly poor, with only one draw against Lokomotiva Zagreb. They often let their defensive weaknesses show by conceding a lot of goals. 

The mutual score further tips the scales in favor of Dinamo Zagreb. Dinamo Zagreb have won nine of the twelve meetings between them so far, while Rudes have won only once. Dinamo Zagreb have an impressive home record against Rudes, having won 4 of the previous 5 games at Maksimir Stadium. With a total score of 30-8, Dinamo have a big goal difference in these matches, but I can say that in this match none of it is really important. The stadium is sold out, Dinamo are in a celebratory mood and this match will be played in a good atmosphere without any tension even though these teams are local rivals.
