- Since Zeljko Kopic took over as Dinamo’s head coach in December 2023, he has installed a highly aggressive, high-tempo system where his team aims to dominate the midfield, press the ball intensely and overrun teams with their high attacking tempo.

Head-to-Head
Dinamo Bucuresti have won 4 of the last 5 head-to-head matchups (1 draw) in all competitions, with the most recent matchup away from home ending 1-1 .
Key Players
- Catalin Cirjan has scored 2 of Dinamo’s last 6 league goals, and his pace, power and quality are the catalyst to Dinamo’s attack, with the team’s top scorer Mamoudou Karamoko currently leading the line with 5 goals in 15 Liga I matches.
- Valentin Costache is UTA’s main attacking threat with 7 goals in 20 Liga I appearances, but Dinamo’s style of play will likely stretch UTA’s compact shape, and the home team could cause Dinamo problems when they counter with the visitors’ full-backs often committing themselves in an advanced position.
