Despite Slovan Bratislava’s struggles in the Champions League this season, Armenian winger Tigran Barseghyan remains in prolific form.

With 12 goals and four assists in 21 appearances, he has already notched 23 shots on target in his domestic league, averaging 2.23 per 90 minutes. In European competition, Barseghyan’s accuracy hasn’t faltered, as he has recorded a shot on target in four of Bratislava’s last five matches.

Given his key role in the attack and his proven ability to test opposing goalkeepers, he is solid value at 1.61 to have at least one shot on target in this Champions League fixture.

Marko Tolic, the Croatian attacking midfielder for Dinamo Zagreb, is in fine form when it comes to creating shooting opportunities. With an average of 1.81 shots per 90 minutes this season, Tolic has maintained a consistent output, registering 11 shots in his last five matches alone, with multiple attempts in four of those games.

His stats from last season also support this trend, with an average of 2.13 shots per 90 minutes, underlining his attacking influence and tendency to take shots when he finds space.

Against Slovan Bratislava, who have allowed 94 shots over their last five Champions League matches, Tolic has ample opportunity to take multiple attempts on goal. Given Bratislava’s defensive lapses and Tolic’s proactive play style, this match could see him taking several shots as he seeks to exploit the opposition’s vulnerability at the back, making 1.73 decent value.

This fixture presents a promising scenario for over 1.5 match goals, as both Slovan Bratislava and Dinamo Zagreb have impressive scoring records within their domestic leagues.

Currently, Bratislava sits atop the Slovak Super Liga, having achieved 31 points out of a possible 36, while Zagreb holds second place in Croatia’s HNL, showcasing a similar goal-scoring prowess. Across their last 20 games, both teams have seen 18 fixtures with at least two goals, indicating a high likelihood of continued scoring.

Slovan Bratislava’s matches average 3.33 goals per game, with the team contributing 2.1 goals per game on their own. Similarly, Dinamo Zagreb’s games average 3.6 goals per match, with Zagreb contributing 2.33 of those goals.
