Lokomotiva Zagreb have performed better than Osijek so far this season, but every game starts at 0-0. Here's all you need to know about the upcoming game:
Lokomotiva Zagreb have less rest than Osijek in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a 1. HNL game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Gorica, so at least Lokomotiva Zagreb are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Lokomotiva Zagreb form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stadion Kranjčevićeva as Lokomotiva Zagreb have scored 28 goals to get 28 points from 12 games. The overall stats in the 1. HNL are 9-1-2 (wins-draws-losses). The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Lokomotiva Zagreb has won five games in a row. The Hajduk Split match was the last time out without a victory. Lokomotiva Zagreb has won so many consecutive home games (eight in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadion Kranjčevićeva. We remember; it was Hajduk Split.
Lokomotiva Zagreb are returning here after visiting Gorica in a 1. HNL game and winning with a 3-1 scoreline. Myrto Uzuni (2) and Iyayi Believe Atiemwen scored the goal(s). Ahead of that match, Lokomotiva Zagreb won a home game hosting Slaven Koprivnica (3-0).
With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (28 in 12 games), Lokomotiva Zagreb's attacking play is working. From these home matches, Lokomotiva Zagreb have conceded only 11 goals.
Osijek form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Osijek so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 1-5-6 (win-draw-lose). Osijek seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
The supporters enjoyed Osijek's previous game versus Varazdin (placed 10th), a 1. HNL 2-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Istra 1961 wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Osijek have scored 13 goals in 12 league games away. 16 goals have been conceded by Osijek in these games.
