Lokomotiva Zagreb form and stats

Lokomotiva Zagreb's struggle is real here at Stadion Kranjčevićeva with only 9 points collected from 13 1. HNL games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-3-8. With seven home 1. HNL games in a row without a win, the Lokomotiva Zagreb fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Slaven Koprivnica game long ago, can be stopped today. It's trouble wherever Lokomotiva are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 332 minutes without scoring a league goal. I. Hadzic was the last player to find the net.

The Lokomotiva crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-2 to Hajduk Split here at Stadion Kranjčevićeva in a 1. HNL match. Ahead of that match, Lokomotiva lost 0-1 at home to Istra 1961.

Lokomotiva Zagreb have scored 10 league goals here from 13 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Lokomotiva have conceded 24 from these games.

Dinamo Zagreb form and stats

The away team, who have the most scored goals (64) in 1. HNL, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 8 wins, 3 draws and only 1 loss in the 1. HNL.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Europa League home defeat versus Villarreal with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A 1-1 draw at Sibenik's stadium before that.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Dinamo manager D. Krznar as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Villarreal.

Dinamo have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 26 goals from 12 away matches. Dinamo have conceded 12 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head
