Dinamo on Sunday from 5:30 pm in Koprivnica plays an important match 25. Supersport HNL round against Slaven Belupa. The domestic team welcomes the current champion after the confident semifinals of the Cup.
Were better than Goriceafter the extensions won 3: 1 after extensions, and in the semifinals will play with Osijek.
On the other hand, the blue arrive after a disappointing draw in a derby on Maksimiru. They managed to play 2: 2 s Hajdukbut behind him still lagging six points and seven for the leading River And they don’t have the right to kick and have to enter the winning series.
Bad news for the Zagreb team is that he has that of Hajduk Lošija interim ratioso the lag behind him in practice is higher by one point.
Against Rijeka can provide equal / better inter-beneficial ratio, but for that in the last mutual match of the season they have to win at least Maksimir Four goals difference.
While most of the League Fans count and account to keep Dinamo a series of victory take the titleBlues threatens the biggest disaster ever – not unthinkable to stay without performing in Europe next year.
Dinamo is currently holding Third position on the table. But the Middle Parts Table – Varaždin, Slaven Belupo and Osijek – are located on a relatively a small number of points behind – Six, seven and nine.
In case he wins Sunday, Slaven would come to just Four points from Dinamo, a Varaždin would open a chance to come to the current champion into three points of difference.
That result would not only (very likely) kicked out Dinamo from the title race but would be serious shook the club and brought him to unthinkable situation to fight for placement in European competitions.
The results against the mentioned competition in the previous season, Dinamo do not go too much in favor. Belupo took only point from two matchesof Osijek have lost twice in the championship and in the cup, while they are only against Varaždin one hundredth. This could be important at the end of the season due to the previously mentioned mutual ratio, in case two or more teams have the same number of points.
They have to cover two things that Dinamo does not go to Europe next season. It’s the first one that someone has to push him out with third place Tables and skip .
The Fifth Club of the SHNL cannot handle Europe through the championship, but the fourth can.
The fourth-placed club (position he is currently holding Varaždin) will play Europe only if the same club wins and championship and Cup. In view of the results in the Cup and the condition on the table, it can only be Riverwhich in the semifinals of the Cup game against Istria.
So, in case Dinamo does not finish among the three best placed teams, they will have to cheer for the triumph of River in the Cup. Recall, The title in the championship is carried out by placement in the Champions League, While the title in the Cup brings Europe to league. With these two places in Eurocups, representatives of Croatia have two places in Conference League.
If the river won and championship and Cupwould go to Champions Leaguewhile the second-placed championship team would go to Europa Liga. The scale would “descend”, so would third and fourth The league club went to the weakest UEFA competition. That happened last season, when Dinamo took a double crown.
Dinamo in theory plays another scenario – the one in which in the championship Slaven or Osijekand at the same time conquer Cup. Then that club would like the Cup conquer Europa Ligaand Dinama would indulge their place in the rankings as the first next on the scale Conference League.
