Martin Green locked in his best bets for Tuesday's Dinamo Zagreb vs. Chelsea UEFA Champions League match on Paramount+.

Zagreb has been dominant in its home league of SuperSport HNL, but there is the legitimate question of how much that translates to UCL play, as the club has only advanced from the group stage in the first of nine total appearances in the competition. "[Zagreb] are far too good for their domestic rivals -- they are already well clear of second-placed Slaven Belupo after winning seven out of eight games so far this season," Green told SportsLine.

Follow the latest from the Champions League as Dinamo Zagreb host Chelsea in Group E.

75 mins to KO: Chelsea have been drawn in a group alongside AC Milan and Red Bull Salzburg, and Dinamo Zagreb of course. 30 mins to KO: Chelsea made a number of big signings over the summer. Orsic was released in behind the Chelsea defence, Fofana didn't have the pace to get back and make the tackle and the youngster prods the finish past Kepa and over the line! Dinamo Zagreb have taken the lead against the run of play! Sterling played the ball in behind for Havertz who had the pace advantage on his opponent. Orsic deserves a lot of credit for taking the opportunity. The away team have the ball in the back of the net, but it's been chalked off for offside. The ball was played to Ademi 20 yards out and he unleashed a ferocious strike with a lot of power! 19 mins: A period of sustained pressure from Chelsea as they search for an equaliser. Chelsea have started the second half at a higher tempo and Havertz does brilliantly to beat his man down the right side and whip a dangerous ball into the box. 38 mins: Nothing is working for Chelsea at the moment. They are giving away possession cheaply in the middle of the pitch - this time it's Kovacic who concedes the ball.

Chelsea ratings: Aubameyang's poor 4/10 form epitomises ... (ESPN)

Chelsea looked poor across the board in a loss to Croatian side Dinamo Zagreb, and their start to the Champions League offered few positives.

[Marc Cucurella](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/259910/Marc-Cucurella), N/R -- Replaced Chilwell in the 71st minute and was unable to make many notable attacking moves, while he was beaten to the ball a few times while trying to defend. [Jorginho](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/165778/jorginho), 5 -- Replaced Kovacic in the 59th minute and tried to move the ball and make things happen, but couldn't manage to find a way through the Dinamo defence. [Christian Pulisic](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/225607/christian-pulisic), N/R -- Replaced Sterling in the 75th minute and tried to get into dangerous areas but couldn't quite make them count. Almost found [Armando Broja](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/291535/Armando-Broja) at the back post after doing well to reach [Jorginho](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/233721/Jorginho)'s pass. [Armando Broja](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/291535/armando-broja), 5 -- Replaced Aubameyang in the 59th minute and flashed a ball towards the front post moments after coming on as he tried to inject some extra energy into their play. [Kai Havertz](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/231182/Kai-Havertz), 5 -- Had encouraging flashes with some good runs and crosses that came close to finding Aubameyang, although a poor touch let him down when there was a chance to break through later in the half. [Ben Chilwell](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/225426/ben-chilwell), 5 -- Headed away Orsic's shot well. [Reece James](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/189007/Reece-James), 5 -- Got into good positions but his passing was poor at times, as was his crossing in the first half with too many of his attempts tamely hitting [Robert Ljubicic](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/273480/Robert-Ljubicic). Got forward a lot of the time but found himself being well-marshalled by [Sadegh Moharrami](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/194870/Sadegh-Moharrami) and Stefan Ristovski. [Hakim Ziyech](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/176733/Hakim-Ziyech), 3 -- Replaced Azpilicueta at halftime and showed early intent with a shot from range, even if it didn't trouble Livakovic. His late chest to [Christian Pulisic](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/225607/Christian-Pulisic) could have ended up being an assist. Completely wasted the opportunity to counter by making a poor pass following a Dinamo mistake and didn't do much in the second period.

Dinamo Zagreb vs Chelsea: Thomas Tuchel furious after loss (NBC Sports)

Thomas Tuchel was raging after Mislav Orsic stayed cool under pressure while the Chelsea defense made several mistakes. Orsic scored. Dinamo Zagreb won.

Ben Chilwell starts over Marc Cucurella after having a huge impact off the bench in their win against West Ham at the weekend but USMNT star Christian Pulisic drops to the bench with Aubameyang, Sterling and Havertz starting in attack. With Aubameyang and Zakaria able to make their debuts, Chelsea’s starting lineup looks very different with new signings Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly and Raheem Sterling all starting. Zagreb came through the qualifying rounds and beat North Macedonian side Shkupi narrowly in the second qualifying round before beating Ludogorets and then Bodo/Glimt in extra time in the playoffs to reach the group stage. I did not see that coming.” (NM) But the last six times they’ve reached the Champions League group stage they’ve finished bottom of their group on every occasion, winning just three of their last 36 games in the group stage. However, Chelsea have to improve defensively and despite some injuries in midfield, Tuchel will want to see his side step things up considerably after a slow start to the new season. (JPW) However, they have a lot of new players bedding in after a busy summer of ins and outs. It’s not determined enough. “We expected what we got,” Tuchel said. It’s not clinical enough. It’s not precise enough.
