Sunderland v Dinamo Zagreb: Europa League ticket info, kick-off time and TV & radio broadcast details

Sunderland will hope to put one foot in the knockout rounds of the Europa League by claiming a home win against Croatian double winners Dinamo Zagreb on Thursday night.

The Black Cats may be struggling for form in the Premier League after Saturday’s defeat at Coventry City left them at the bottom of the table - but the same cannot be said of their results during a historic European campaign. After securing wins against AZ Alkmaar and Torreense, Regis Le Bris’ men battled their way to a point at Polish champions Lech Poznan last month and that has left them sitting in ninth place in the Europa League table.

A top eight spot is top of the agenda for the Black Cats as that would land an automatic place in the last 16 of the competition. However, they will face a two-legged play-off tie in the new year if they end the league phase anywhere between ninth and twenty fourth place.

Returning to only the second European campaign in their history will provide some welcome relief for Le Bris and his players this week and they will hope to return to winning ways in front of a strong crowd at the Stadium of Light. With just days to go until their first ever meeting with Dinamo, The Echo gives you all of the information you need ahead of Sunderland’s latest European tie.
