Sunderland - Dinamo Zagreb

Sunderland and Dinamo Zagreb meet at the Stadium of Light on 5 November 2026 for their Europa League matchday 4 encounter. Sunderland arrive looking to steady their rhythm after a difficult run in the Premier League, though their European campaign has included a resilient draw against Lech Poznan and a victory over Torreense. Their expected XI features Robin Roefs in goal, with Granit Xhaka anchoring the midfield, though they must manage without Nordi Mukiele due to injury.

Dinamo Zagreb travel to England following a mixed domestic period, recently suffering a narrow defeat to Rudes despite a strong attacking display in their league victory over Rijeka. Their European form has been inconsistent, highlighted by a win against Anderlecht followed by a loss to NEC Nijmegen. With Scott McKenna, Daniel Rodriguez, and Stjepan Radeljic sidelined, the visitors will rely on the experience of Dominik Kotarski to navigate this challenging away fixture.
