With 3 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Gorica are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The home team returns to Stadion Maksimir after sharing the points with Osijek on their last time out; the 1. HNL game ended 2-2. Before that game, the home loss against Dinamo Zagreb with the scoreline 1-2.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Gorica as they have a new game in only four days, a 1. HNL match thankfully also at home. Rijeka are visiting.
