Dinamo Zagreb come into this cup tie as heavy favorites, having an impressive record in the competition so far with 15 goals scored and none conceded in their last three cup matches. Their overall squad quality, market value, and tactical flexibility in a 4-3-3 shape present a strong offensive threat and defensive reliability.

HNK Gorica's recent form is mixed, with several home defeats in the league and a generally leaky defense, conceding at least one goal in each of their last five home games. While their attack has produced a fair number of goals in the cup, defensively they lack the structure and depth seen in Dinamo.

Head-to-head history heavily favors Dinamo Zagreb, who have won 7 of the last 10 meetings, often by multiple goals. Gorica's only recent victory over Dinamo came away from home and was aided by a red card to Dinamo, suggesting it was more an exception than a trend.

Lineups indicate Dinamo are close to full strength, with only a couple of defensive absences, while Gorica's attacking options are limited by injury doubts. Key creative and attacking players for Dinamo, such as Stojković and Beljo, are available and in good form.

Tactical analysis suggests Dinamo will control possession, utilize wide play, and press Gorica's back three, likely leading to both territorial and goal-scoring dominance. Gorica, with a more defensive 3-4-2-1 setup, may be forced to play on the counter but have not shown the discipline to shut out elite opposition.

Betting markets reflect this gap, with Dinamo's win odds notably short and fan voting overwhelmingly backing the away side. The 'Draw No Bet' market offers substantial risk reduction, as the likelihood of Gorica claiming a win is low based on all available data.

Given Dinamo's cup form, squad quality, and tactical superiority, the away win is the most logical pick, but 'Draw No Bet' is the safest, highest-probability market that preserves the intent of the external predictions while responsibly minimizing exposure.
