Dinamo Zagreb currently have three first-team players out injured. Arijan Ademi is sidelined with a knee ligament problem, while Mehmed Alispahic is currently shelved with a broken arm, and club captain Igor Biscan is recovering after undergoing ankle surgery. The Croatian side will also be without influential defender Josip Simunic, who is suspended for the first match, and young starlet Sime Vrsaljko, who is serving a three-game ban.



Jose Mourinho currently has a favoured first XI available, so expect him to kick off his Champions League campaign by fielding his strongest team. Nuri Sahin and Hamit Altintop have still to make their Real Madrid debuts since their summer transfers, and remain on the sidelines with a back injury and a knee injury respectively. Sami Khedira is still out of action after suffering a thigh muscle injury against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Copa. Meanwhile, the Portuguese coach himself is serving a touchline ban and will not be in the technical area.



DID YOU KNOW?
This will be the first time the two sides have met in a competitive fixture.

Dinamo Zagreb's last five Champions League campaigns came to an end in the third qualifying round. The Croatians have progressed past three preliminary rounds to get to the group stage this season.

Krunoslav Jurcic's side are unbeaten at the Stadion Maksimir in 2011.

Dinamo are celebrating their centenary year this campaign, having being founded in April 26, 1911.

Real Madrid's only European trip to Croatia ended in defeat when they lost 3-1 to HNK Rijeka 27 years ago.

Madrid ended a run of six successive last-16 exits when they made it through to last season's semi-finals, where they were eliminated by arch-rivals Barcelona.

The Spanish side have never once failed to make it out of the Champions League group stage.

Iker Casillas has made more appearances in the Champions League than any other goalkeeper.

I dont know why Real Madrid will not win this match

My scoreline prediction, Madrid 5- Zagreb 1

its an away tie

we are the favorites objectively

but complacency may be a bad thing.

all in all I expect us to win.

Viva Los Blancos

Dinamo Zagreb 0 Vs 4 Real Madrid My prediction. Cristiano Ronaldo Hat trick and Benzema.

My prediction,Real Madrid owns the day but small team like this can be difficult.

The guys should just up the game as they use to play against Barcelona.
