Dinamo Zagreb will host Red Bull Salzburg at Maksimir on Tuesday (October 11) on matchday four of the UEFA Champions League.
The Croatian outfit kicked off their continental campaign with a 1-0 win over Chelsea, with Mislav Orsic scoring the sole goal of the game inside 15 minutes. They were, however, beaten 3-1 by Serie A champions AC Milan in their second game before losing 1-0 at Salzburg in their third game.
Dinamo are rock-bottom in their group with three points from nine. They will now look to shake off their latest result and return to winning ways.
Salzburg, meanwhile, are enjoying a good run of form and are gunning for a spot in the knockouts. They held AC Milan and Chelsea to 1-1 draws to open their campaign before beating Dinamo, thanks to a second-half penalty from Noah Okafor.
The Austrian side sit atop the group standings with five points from three games and will look to add to that tally on Tuesday.
