Match Preview: Sunderland v Dinamo Zagreb — More European Fireworks On Wearside
Can we remain unbeaten in Europe?!
Sunderland and Dinamo Zagreb are set to face off in the Europa League at Poznań Stadium on November 5th, 2026, with kick-off at 20:00 GMT. The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports and BBC Radio Newcastle. Despite Sunderland's recent struggles in the Premier League, they currently sit in 9th place with an unbeaten record, making them strong contenders for a knockout run.
However, they have been hit with an injury blow as Habib Diarra will miss the match for around six weeks. Chemsdine Talbi has replaced him in the European squad, with the team's performance in Europe looking promising given their 9th place finish in the league. Dinamo Zagreb, Croatian champions, have recently sacked their manager, which may affect their scouting reports.
They have won the league 19 times in the last 21 seasons and made it to the knockout phase in the Champions League last year. The betting odds favor Sunderland at 4/9 to win, while Dinamo Zagreb are at 5/1 for victory, with a draw at 17/5. A Sunderland victory would be a tough test, but it could be the boost needed for their weekend performances.
