- Lokomotiva Zagreb has the most conceded goals in the first half (13) in 1. HNL

Lokomotiva Zagreb form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the 1. HNL this season. Lokomotiva Zagreb have only managed 1 win, 3 draws and 2 losses from their games here at Stadion Kranjčevićeva. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in eleven attempts.
Lokomotiva lost their last game at Gorica (placed 3rd) after a 1-3 scoreline. 1-1 away at Gorica before that.
Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at F. Karačić for missing a penalty kick versus Gorica in the 90th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.
This is expected to be a close game, with Lokomotiva Zagreb perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lokomotiva as a small favourite), we find five games. Lokomotiva Zagreb has won two of these, drawn zero and lost three.
Lokomotiva are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. On the other hand, Lokomotiva Zagreb have conceded 7 goals.
Slaven Koprivnica form and stats
3-3-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Slaven Koprivnica in their 1. HNL matches away. Having won their last three away games Slaven Koprivnica has no reason to fear anyone.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a 1. HNL home defeat versus Dinamo Zagreb with 1-5 on the scoreboard. Prior to that result Koprivnica won their away game at Gorica. The scoreline was 1-0.
Koprivnica lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Slaven Koprivnica playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were two Koprivnica wins, two draws and one defeat.
The schedule is very tough for Slaven Koprivnica now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Croatia Cup game at GOSK Dubrovnik is waiting in only three days.
The travelling fans enjoy Koprivnica's attacking play in away games, having scored 11 goals in 7 league matches away. Slaven Koprivnica have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
