The managers N. Bjelica and D. Burić are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the 1. HNL league table.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
Dinamo Zagreb form and stats
This stadium, Stadion Hitrec Kacian, has been a fortress for Dinamo Zagreb in the 1. HNL so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 6-0-0. After failing to beat Lokomotiva Zagreb here at Stadion Hitrec Kacian, Dinamo Zagreb has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with six wins in a row. The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Dinamo Zagreb has won six games in a row. The Varazdin match was the last time out without a victory.
Defensively the home team are doing well, with goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic not having conceded a league goal in 283 minutes.
Dinamo Zagreb are returning here after visiting Rijeka in a 1. HNL game and winning with a 5-0 scoreline. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Shakhtar Donetsk that ended 3-3.
As mentioned above, Dinamo Zagreb "killed" Rijeka in their previous game. They need to reset completely for this one and beware of complacency. M. Oršić was absolutely essential when Dinamo Zagreb beat Rijeka 5-0, scoring 3 goals.
The manager N. Bjelica will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Atalanta in only four days.
