LOSC – Dinamo Zagreb: Dogues must hit back in the Europa League 
LOSC host Dinamo Zagreb this Thursday at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in a crucial clash in the fight for a Top 8 Europa League spot. Beaten by Red Star (1-0) last time out, the Dogues need to get back on track against a Croatian side also hunting points.
LOSC : solid at home but under pressure in Europe 
After a perfect start in the competition, Lille have stalled on the European stage and could suffer a third straight defeat — something they haven’t seen since the 2019-2020 Champions League.
But Genesio’s men got back on track Sunday with a controlled 4-2 win over Paris FC.
At home, LOSC are deadly: three consecutive wins at Pierre-Mauroy since the loss to PAOK, 11 goals scored and only 3 conceded.
The northern club can also bank on a perfect record against Croatian teams: never beaten in four meetings and impressively solid at home.
Dinamo Zagreb : dangerous late on, but far too fragile 
Dinamo Zagreb have often relied on late goals to stay relevant in this group, but their last outing (a 3-0 loss to Celta Vigo) laid bare their limits.
The Croats conceded all six of their goals before the break — a clear defensive weakness. Still, they’re on three European away games without defeat and sit just one point off the Top 8. A loss on Thursday could drag them into a negative run they haven’t seen since 2023. They’ve only won in France once — back in 1989.
Key takeaways
- Lille remain extremely dangerous at home (11 goals in their last three matches).
- The Dogues have a perfect record against Croatian clubs.
- Dinamo Zagreb concede almost all their goals before the break.
- The Croats have won in France only once, over 35 years ago.
Football Pick LOSC vs Dinamo Zagreb
LOSC to win
At home, LOSC have the tools to make the difference against a Dinamo that’s defensively brittle and rarely performs versus Top 5 European clubs.
First up: a word on our picks
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We share an opinion, a snapshot reading, never a guarantee. Sport stays unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, it rarely is. And yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best to stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — that almost never ends well.
- A bet should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it takes over your daily life, annoys you or puts you under pressure, take a break. And if needed, talk to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Important reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must follow the law in your country. Gambling can spiral (money losses, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No guarantees from us
Our predictions aren’t a contract. They carry no legal weight. Plain and simple: you can’t use them to claim anything if a bet fails.
Things can change
A tip is always based on what we know when we write it. In the meantime a team sheet (like LOSC’s) can change, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can be out of date very quickly. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, just check that gambling is legal where you live. If it’s not, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible gambling first
We won’t say it enough: play in moderation. If you struggle to keep control, don’t wait to get help. We can’t be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the site’s information.
