Gorica form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their 1. HNL travels is 6 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. With the Gorica losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Gorica might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match.

Pršir hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting Dinamo Zagreb's place.There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Gorica manager Rendulić as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Hajduk Split.
