Inter Zaprešić hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 17 points and a 9th position in the 1. HNL table. Visiting Gorica holds 6th place with 36 pts.
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!
Inter Zaprešić form and stats
With {2 1. HNL wins}, 3 draws and 8 defeats from their home games, Inter Zaprešić, who have the most conceded goals (53) in 1. HNL, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Zaprešić with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Osijek game, 124 days ago, have they avoided a loss. With Zaprešić having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager T. Ivković.
Zaprešić faced defeat in their previous match, away at Hajduk Split (1-2). A defeat was the result before that one, 1-4 away at Rijeka.
Heartbreak for Zaprešić in their last match as Hajduk Split's K. Dimitrov scored the winning goal deep into overtime.
The Inter Zaprešić fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 13 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Zaprešić defense is not exactly impregnable. 25 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Gorica form and stats
Gorica have only collected 12 points from their away games in the 1. HNL, after 3-3-7 (13 played). Gorica has drawn their two previous away games.
Gorica are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 0-0 draw at Slaven Koprivnica (placed 7th). Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Lokomotiva Zagreb.
