Croatian powerhouse Dinamo Zagreb can take second place in their Europa League section with a win at home to
already-eliminated Timisoara, but only if section leaders Ajax beat Anderlecht in Amsterdam.
"It won't be easy in Zagreb. They are doing well in their domestic championship – I don't think they had lost an away match there until the weekend. And I have banned my players from talking about the match between Ajax and Anderlecht," said Dinamo head coach Krunoslav Jurcic to uefa.com.
"We are a huge success domestically. We are six points ahead of Cibalia and Sibenik in the Croatian table and have 11 points more than our biggest rivals Hajduk; we have reached the Croatian Cup semi-finals and we have a good chance to finally survive a winter in European competition.
"Even if we don't do that, we will improve our UEFA ranking and eventually get easier opponents in European competition, and maybe play one fewer qualifying round.
"I'm proud I steadied the team and helped calm some tensions at the club. It's great that we have achieved our goals so far. Except for the Champions League.
"That was my dream; too bad that we filled some positions too late. That match against Salzburg still hurts. We were the better side; we should have gone through."
