Lokomotiva Zagreb form and stats
2-3-3 (win-draw-lost) are the 1. HNL numbers at home for Lokomotiva Zagreb so far this season.
The Lokomotiva fans got no joy from their last match, a 1. HNL game also here at Stadion Kranjčevićeva: A 0-3 defeat against Osijek (placed 1st). Before that, Lokomotiva drew at home versus Šibenik.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Lokomotiva Zagreb have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won one time, drawn three and lost zero.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lokomotiva as they are travelling to their away game against Hajduk Split in the 1. HNL. That match is four days after this one.
Lokomotiva are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 8 games.

Šibenik aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 353 league minutes without a goal. P. Ampem was the last player to find the net.
Šibenik might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Hajduk Split proved too strong as Šibenik slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Šubićevac. A 1-1 draw at Lokomotiva Zagreb's stadium before that.
We have checked recent matches where Šibenik have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those two games were one victory, one draw and zero defeats.
The schedule is very tough for Šibenik now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A 1. HNL game at Dinamo Zagreb is waiting in only four days.
