Thun

Starting with the hosts, shattering a string of records last season as they got their hands on an historic maiden domestic crown, Thun certainly cemented their spot as one of Europe’s ultimate surprise packages. However, despite their iconic Super League campaign, the Reds certainly limped their way over the finishing line and almost suffered what was a remarkable collapse. Including an infamous 8-3 aggregate defeat at the hands of domestic foes and Swiss giants BSC Young Boys on May 14th, Thun could only muster a single point from any of their final five top-flight showdowns. Likewise, signing off their summer preparations with a 2-1 friendly defeat against German outfit Mannheim last week, Tuesday’s hosts have also shown some extended defensive issues. In fact, Thun failed to muster a single clean sheet from any of their final 12 consecutive domestic appearances last season.

Still dealing with an extended muscle injury and not featuring across any competition since back in April, Thun will once again be without the services of Spanish defender Genis Montolio on Tuesday night.

However, all serving their own respective domestic suspensions prior to the summer interval, Tuesday’s hosts will welcome back the likes of Jan Bamert, Niklas Steffen and former Luzern man Marco Burki back to their squad in midweek.

Dinamo Zagreb

As for the visitors, recapturing their respective domestic crown last season in what was a remarkable fashion, Dinamo Zagreb are certainly riding a serious wave of momentum. Eventually signing off the 2025/26 campaign with an astonishing 22-point buffer at the top of the table, Tuesday’s guests find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Pencilled in as a standout contender when they open their Champions League qualifying campaign here, Mario Maksimir’s men have embarked on a dominant extended run. In fact, continuing on from their summer preparations, Zagreb are unbeaten in all of their previous 22 consecutive appearances across all competitions – a purple patch that stems all the way back to a 2-1 Europa League loss against Genk on February 19th.

Dinamo Zagreb Team News

Ahead of their first-leg trip to Switzerland on Tuesday night, Dinamo Zagreb have reported a clean bill of health and have no fresh injury concerns to worry about.

Enjoying what was an astonishing domestic romp last season and notching 31 goals in his 36 top-flight appearances, attacking talisman Dion Beljo will lead the line on foreign soil. Reportedly attracting plenty of European interest this summer, 19-year-old Marko Zebic will start at the back.

Thun vs Dinamo Zagreb Key Factors to Consider

• Tuesday’s first-leg battle will be the first meeting between Thun and Dinamo Zagreb.

Watching Dinamo Zagreb embark on an astonishing 22-match unbeaten run extending on from their summer preparations, the Croatian heavyweights will be confident of claiming a crucial first-leg advantage on foreign soil.
